Despiration

by Princess09   May 29, 2006


Sitting in the dark
clutching the phone
breathing in every word
wishing you were not alone

softly whispers back
to the one on the other end
he's not just someone
he's everything and a friend

he keeps talking
knowing you need him
when he hangs up
slowly start to die again

living off his words
breathing in his life
together satisfied
apart stings like a sharp knife

    Nice poem, interesting format. The only part I disliked was the last line, it seemed a bit out of place the first time I read through, and I had to re-read the poem before it semmed to even remotely 'fit in'. Other than that, really great poem, well written indeed.

    Peace. [Sole]

    This poem was well written I think. If you ask me, poetry is not about how much "emotion" or the quantity even. It is your perspective on a situation, something that noone else can decide for you. 5/5

    Aw Thats so sweet! Great work, i loved reading it, it's one of the better love poems I've read in a while.

    But in this line "wishing you where not alone" shouldn't it be "were" instead of "where"

    Anyways, great job and thanks for the comment on mine.

    I really liked this poem, brought back memories of when me and my ex split, and although I'd give anything to not relive that, it gives me a sense of relief knowing I'm not the only one going through this, i guess. I really liked this and I think that you did a great job on it. 5/5
