Dust on My Keyboard

Dust on my keyboard

Writing seems useless

Stare at my screen

Words

They come no more.

 

Too much to think of

No room in my life

For writing the pain

Away

No outlet to release

 

Emotions trapped inside me

Let out only in rage

Only in tears

Stress

And the pain consumes me

 

I feel nowhere to turn

I see nowhere to hide

You don’t love me the same

Emptiness

Is what I’ve become

 

At what point do I stop feeling?

At the point where you stop caring

Stop kissing me softly

Approaching

Is that time

 

Psychology is fading

Physics is all we hold on to

 

Over this year

My life has changed

All with you

 

I can feel a new sensation

A dawn is breaking

Darkness filling my soul before the light appears

 

Will it ever appear?

All I see is this long tunnel

The one you entered with me

 

The one you left me in.

 

My kisses are harder

No caring

No beauty

 

Your touch feels colder

Every day decreasing

In temperature

 

Your patience shorter

Voice is sterner

Listening is now a rarity

Conversation extinct

 

With this pain in my soul

I stare

At the dust on my keyboard

 

I weep for its loneliness

For we are kindred hearts

 

I type

I think

I feel

 

I write this poem

Heartbreak has kept me from

 

Love is mortal

 

Pen is eternal

 

Legacy lives forever

This is quite a strong poem. And I agree with the four people below me. :] I like the way you changed the length of the stanzas, it sort of showed that everything was of importance, and then, like in the relationship (I'm assuming), the conversation started to die - kind of signified by the one and two line stanzas. :]

And I like how the keyboard is dusty, and at the end you say "Pen is eternal." Then the pen contrasts with the line before it, "love is mortal." It reminds me of a sonnet from Edmund Spenser and John Keats. Love is eternal, but my pen will live forever, therefore my words will live forever.

All I see is this long tunnel
The one you entered with me
The one you left me in

wow, this is so strong and powerful, i pretty much fell in love with it. it reminds me of a time in my life when i was so sad and confused i had trouble writing about it or even expressing it. i love the last lines in this "love is portal/ pen is eternal/ legacy lives forever" those are really inspiring. overall, this is wonderful :)
