A Beautiful Curse

I hope I will never have to write poetry again;

about you, about me, about us.

 

I hope I will never have to sit on my corner;

            my dying space,

            thinking about what could have gone wrong,

            what I could have fought for,

            what I could have said

            and what I could have done.

 

You see, my words are poison and my hands are cursed;

            capable only of creating tears

            and unhappy endings.

Well written. Very sad thought. Sometimes i feel too like i can screw things up really, really bad. Like no one else!

Alan watts said once " “We have frustration because we are fighting the changing of things.” You beautifully penned the idea of pain and made art of it in this powerful poem. In the line " You see, my words are poison and my hands are cursed;
capable only of creating tears
and unhappy endings." It's a blessing and a curse to feel in love with things being someone special or something that makes you truly live and die for. French poet Francois de La Rochefoucauld knows exactly what I am talking about when it comes to love. “True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen,” he said. ... That is what love is; having all those emotions throughout the journey and being able to experience them gives a deeper meaning to life.Keep writing I got this message in there sincerely your friend in writing and life :)

I really like this. I can feel the pain that caused this to be written. I especially like the first stanza because this is how I often feel. Although poetry is a perfect release and pain does bring creativity, its a shame to have those things to write about in the first place. The second stanza is great as well, it is as if you have read my mind. I especially like the line where you refer to your corner as your "dying space". Also, the first line in the third stanza; incredible. Look, the whole thing I adore. It's marvelous, painful, well written, so truthful and incredibly relatable. An excellent write and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Hello, your comment was posted 2 months ago but I just really wanted to say thank you. Your review was really touching, I'm glad I was able to convey the right emotions to the readers. I guess going through a rough break-up really does trigger the right emotions.
