Vacant.

by forevertobeart   Nov 8, 2009


Then again, I felt that emptiness
raging intensely,
filling my thoughts
to remind me
of promises never made.

Then again, the mirror looked dismal,
a fading shadow of happiness.
I turned off the light
to let that face's darkness
dissolve in the obscurity of night.

Then again, the sky cried
was there any reason to rain?
The earth swelled with tears
falling from my eyes,
perhaps to touch him.

Then again, December came;
snow fell over the pines,
sending shivers down.
He did not love the cold,
and it was winter in my heart.

Then again, a star fell;
so many stars have broken since.
Each time I wished, "Let me forget."
Yet always,
his thoughts returned.

Then again, blew the same note,
music fluttered in the air.
I stopped,
on hearing that name;
someone called him again.

    I thought it was good for the most part. I dont think that it flowed very well but thats alright. And i thought the overall idea of the poem was really great. Reading it reminds me of always thinking of me rapist, not sure this is what the poem is about, but it can be very relatable to alot of people. Well done 5/5
