Lost In You

by Jay   Nov 7, 2011


She doesn't think much of me
I'm here to pass the time
To waste away with her
To waste away...

Her true love
What a laughable facade
My real love
Rejected time and time again...

Love that was once sweet and pure
Is now cast aside
Left in the corner to rot...

She walks by it every day
So used to its presence
That she no longer even sees it...

The smell of putrid betrayal lingers
But grown accustom to unnoticeable...

I used to dance on walls for you
I used to feign at the possibility of bliss
Now I feign to be acknowledged
To be seen
Even to be remembered...

What could of been is now so jaded
It could cut through silence...

Rotting away I'm left without hope
You're indiscretions hovering above me
I sit void of solace
Unsure of anything covered in your filth...

I devote myself to picking up your pieces
Comforting you through your darkness...

I'm lost in you...

    Hi Jay,

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this poem

    There is so much emotion and hurt in this poem. I feel saddened by the words shown as it tells a story.

    I see it as a loving couple who obviously used to think the world of each other - their relationship slowly breaking down. One side more aware of the nothing that the relationship has become and the feelings that they have lost (or at least one person as lost)

    It reminds me of the words I love you and how people say it for the sake of saying it without meaning it. When a relationship hits rocks bottom and they go through their lives trotting along without trying to build the relationship further.

    I keep seeing one person more in love than the other.

    I really enjoyed this poem

    So sorry if it is something you have gone through

    It's time to exercise your detachment and let her go.Take care and be strong.
