Going Away

by Silent Scribbler   Oct 10, 2012


As the town around me sleeps.
I surround myself in lonely weeps.
Sorrow brings only tomorrow.
Causing happiness to be borrowed.

Silence fills the open air.
Inside screams of all my scare.
Life is just too short they say.
Even though it continues anyway.

Relax, calm, and breath.
Never brings you back to me.
You're in a better place I know.
I just wasn't ready for you to go.

I'm always going to miss you.
As I know you'll miss me too.
Although I guess it's not goodbye.
It's just a see you soon.

    @.@!!

    You definitely have a way with
    Words Mr Scribbler...

    There's a deep sad picture in my head...

    During the dark hours I see your tears, as you fall apart in solitude... After a day of putting on a brave face.

    Images Of you walking behind a coffin, to your loved ones final resting place... Where you say fair well to a body but I'll see you later to a soul.

    "I'm always going to miss you.
    As I know you'll miss me too.
    Although I guess it's not goodbye.
    It's just a see you soon."

    ^^ never let go of this kiddo.
    My favourite stanza.

    Great write :)

    At first, I thought u were going to write a poem about break-ups and all...but Oh! Even worse... its kind of an elegy...
    These lines, "Never brings you back to me.

    You're in a better place I kno.

    I just wasn't ready for you to go." really changed the tone of the poem. I like the way you wrote it; keeping the readers tensed, drawing their attention, letting them (me) think 'what really is the reason she left...?'
    Over all well written! I like it so much...
    P.s: I've noticed two spelling errors i.e in line 7 "Life is just to short they say." it should be 'too' not 'to' & in this line"You're in a better place I kno." 'kno' should be 'know' (though i know u didn't mean to write 'kno', i.e., just a typing error).
    5/5

    Aw...this is a very sad poem. It's true when we lose someone in death we want to see them again. I like that at the end of this heartbreaking piece you speak of seeing your love one again, those last lines definitely brings a light hope into the picture.
