The Claimant

by Meme   Nov 2, 2012


I felt your presence in places
when I was sure I was all alone
As if my steps were your traces
but when I turn you're long gone

Hide and seek was never my game
but a favorite it was always to you
You searched for something to claim
and the satisfaction in you when you do

"Run away as fast as you can
you know I will always find you
With you I don't need any plan
I throw my heart with no clues"

That was the way you used to aim
but I never understood your target
Not until I heard you call my name
I recalled how this whole thing started

You were here all along but I was blind
or unaware of the rules of this game
Still you knew that at the end I'd find
that your heart was there for me to claim

    That was awesome.

    I swear if you write songs for pop artists, you would smash the music industry... because you have this lyrical easiness when writing about love and sadness.

    Wow, I love this poem! First, the title caught my eye. It was a very well-chosen title! And then I was captivated from the first line..

    "I felt your presence in places
    when I was sure I was all alone"

    ^^ this part felt spooky, but kind of in a good way if that makes any sense. I was really drawn to the poem from this part.

    I like the mention of 'hide and seek' because even though it's a game, if it's compared to your life, then it's not fun! And I like how you state that you don't enjoy the game, yet this person does.

    I like the ending. It was sweet and hopeful... I like that it's not obvious how the story ends between these two people, but the fact that you stated that his heart is there for you to claim leaves the reader thinking there is a possibility of something there!

    Loved it! Great job :)
