Into the Deep

by Poet on the Piano   Mar 15, 2013


I don't know how to handle thinking back.
Was I only created for living once in the past,
presiding in the present and never worrying
about the future?

I feel as if I am a wisp of an emotion clasped
inside an automaton's steel body and I am
somehow not myself, though my blood is
still caressing within this skin I hate touching.

You are no longer an active part of my life-
I remember, of course I will forever, yet I can't
intervene anymore, place your face at the
window spots of fast food chains you used to
take me to when school let out and I needed you.
And each time I am reminded, it's like there
is an evanescent whisper, trying to pull me...

but I am untraceable.

Has it really been three months already?
For maybe you're just hidden away, unable
to be summoned in cognition, your spirit
sequestering in darkness.

I am that darkness, but you are not here.

    When i read this poem, i could honestly place myself in your shoes and felt heart broken. I liked how this piece turned perspective-taking into such am easy job. I liked the clear imagery and it's often the daily rituals/activities which make romance so hard to forget. It's as if your partner has formed such an important part of your life that you feel lost when they are not there. As if you are just going through the motions which only matters if he/she was there with you.

    I have fallen in love with your poems since the beginning and each piece i read just further enforces my admiration towards your poetry.
