Another Night Numb and Empty

by Lance Hardy   Aug 5, 2005


I’m dreaming about a girl so true
That living without her is hard to bear
And here I go, writing these words
She’ll never see what she meant to me

With a face sent straight from heaven
And a smile too great for my unworthy eyes
She blessed me anyway and gave me the sky
Oh beautiful angel, you lit up my life

Without having exchanged too many words
Because my confidence said, “Too good for you”
All I could do was pray for the strength
To speak my mind, but here I am

All alone with so many regrets
Of how I could never open my heart
Let it be embraced or let it be broken
She’s gone forever, except in my thoughts

I hope that she’s there when I finally change
So I can let her know that I mean to be true
‘Til death do I part, I’ll think about her
Since that other day will never bear fruit

So now here ends these horrible lines
That spoke of nothings to everyone else’s eyes
Now is the time that I am forgotten
Lost in a world filled with my brothers

    I agree the girl is very lucky to have a guy like you like her sooo much. I agree with what Sean Allen said your poem is stronger in the second part. I like how you use big, intelligent, genius words (lol) i mean some people use 1st grade words throughtout their poems and there like 16 or 17. Its a great poem very well written keep writing!

    "That living without her is hard to bare"
    it should be bear not bare, those damn words confuse me too.

    Do the people who comment even read your poems? Sometimes I wonder...

    Okay so at a first glance, I was worried that this poem was gonna rhyme, and that the rhythm was going to be so hard-set that it was going to ruin the message BUT suprise! it was great. it didn't rhyme, thank god, and the rhythm flowed and twirled and...ya know, spun in eddies and crap... w/e.

    I would say that the second half of the poem was stronger than the first, and that your use of creative language has increased tenfold since the first poem of yours i've ever read. good work
