Poem: Feeling You Let Go

You can probably see I'm really struggling with words now... I just can't explain. This is about when I was at my dad's lying in bed and I thought about my old friends, etc how I miss a certain one and just cried my eyes out. I tried to rub the tears away and I wanted to hurt myself, and just make evrything go away but all I could do was stay paralysed in bed like I was about to explode...My entire body froze and i was tense and couldnt move with tears just gliding....

Feeling You Let Go

With writing as my last resort

To you, be this, my last report

status: damaged

heart: broken

mind: removed

I lie in bed

my head explodes

paralysed, frozen inside out

force keeps me, like a statue

binded by stone

I think of you and my heart

stops.

It can't beat

You've stopped it.

Heavy breathing

scares me

Who will hear?

No one, I hope

My wrist burns

my memories imply

"give in to him"

I am but stuck

like an icicle

holding on, barely grasping

falls to stab me

I stab me

I want to bleed for you

I melt in tears

I am a puddle on the floor

And you step on me

Tears splattered everywhere

rub them

make them go away

make me go away

I'm not here!

I'm not real!

You're not real!

none of this is real!

I live in a fake world

with a fake mind

and a fake heart

so let's pretend

you're still here

I'm here

We're here

And we never let go

Until I return to reality

nothing I can do

but watch you leave

and feel you letting go...

I like this poem. It's a bit emo-ish, but a whole lot, and you can tell it comes from the heart, which is what matters.

They're not that good. I write poems because I love the imagry they evoke, even though usually I'm the only one who can "see" them.

Heh. well sometimes we just write poetry for ourselves, that makes total sense to only us, and none other. I have a poem that would only make complete sense to me and one other who it's for. There's nothin wrong with writing poetry for youself. That's why a lot of us do it, so we can see how we feel.

Mm hmm. I just hate it when even my pen can't tell me how I feel, which is how it's been lately. I'm just so confused.
