Please.

by Poet on the Piano   Dec 26, 2014


It hurt worse than it should have. Others are much stronger than I. And I? I haven't lost anyone. But I am drowning from the desire for a love that is too potent. Too fragrant. I'm choking from all the words I haven't spoken yet, and you've been content with watching me cough all these days so you wouldn't have to be confronted.

You don't realize how close I am to darkness, how easily I crawl into it, how often I die in my mind. The pain revisits me whenever I hear your footsteps, your voice, the goodness of your heart. Sometimes, I can pretend it isn't there. But your eyes look too deeply. And we can't forget the past, what sorrows we witnessed together.

(you were all I had).

Don't send your greetings out to me. I'm just
too far away...

    Same as mousey... OMG! that is what first springs to mind for me!

    I really love this piece from you, at first I wasn't sure of the layout, but by the end I was totally engrossed in the words!

    I admire the way you can tell a story fluently in your writing, without jumping all over the place like I do!

    I think you have worded this pain so much, and how much you have been hurt is clear here. I really relate to this, and also the indication that you are so closed off right now, that too far away to be reached, no matter who might try to reach you. I think this is sometimes pain, but also protection so you can't get hurt again.

    I like how you give us so much history of these two characters, that they seem to have been through a lot together, but yet are not together anymore, or at least the love is not the same as it was. Which is probably what hurts the most, when you still see/hear someone but it is not the same as it was before. Makes it harder to move on and stop longing for how it was.

    Rambling now! But truly love this write, one of my favourites from you!

    OMG!

    I am sorry to start a comment on a sad piece like that but....this is such an unbelievable heart felt write....just ugh....I REALLY like how you have set this poem out because when written this way kinda like a net that just snares you in...no breaks between the stanzas to give you respite so to speak and because of the content of the poem that is very fitting because thats how life can feel sometimes.

    Your word choice, tempo of the poem is great as always and i do genuinly adore this write...although i am sorry for the insoriation for it.

    Sad but beautifully tragic.
