Passion

by Kiki   Feb 13, 2004


My passion is gone
It’s left me behind
Left my body empty, cold
Something missing
Something I held so dear
I want it back
A chunk of my soul, my essence, my being has disappeared
My passion is gone, and I’m not sure how to get it back
My life feels meaningless
I thought I was free, but I was mistaken
The feelings I had, which I thought were bonds
Shackles holding me down
Weren’t any of these, it gave me fire
The drive to write, to breath, to live
It was what I lived for
Those feelings are long gone, and have turned to despair
I’m not sure if I can even use the word despair to describe this, despair is feeling and emotion
Neither of which I have
I’m stuck in purgatory
There is a bottomless hole inside me
I sit here and think, trying to figure how to fill this void in my life
I can’t even cry, unable to express any type of feelings whatsoever
This emptiness is entrapping me
Engulfing me
Eating me alive
And I’m not sure how I’m gonna survive

    Hi Kiki, just want to say thanx for the kind words you said about my poem, do you really think its that good? anyway enough about me. Your poem is brilliant, far better and more clear than mine. I love the line `my essense being disappeared`, so harrowing. Been on that emotional helter-skelter plenty of times. And the point you make about all these melencholy feelings giving birth to the desire and need to write. To express ourselves and be understood. And iv had many a day, staring into space feeling that my life was meaningless too. Wondering what paths i`ve stumbled down to get into this situation. I`ve put you on my favorites list and will be watching out for your work in future, and when i get the time i will make more comments on your other poems. Thanx again kiki for your kind, encouraging words. Oh by the way what was that line you wrote in Spanish(?)
