My Unreachable Dream

by Hatori   Feb 26, 2007


Life is so complicated,
And all I feel is loss,
The loss of words,
Of dreams,
Of hope,
And of knowing.

I used to know myself,
From head to toe,
But now all I can do,
Is try to make sense,
Of this harsh, complicated world.

My mind is a mix,
As time slowly ticks,
I hide away,
Until I die,
Ever since,
That fateful day.

That day when I met you,
And knew that I couldn't,
That I couldn't love you,
Not even if I truly did.

You looked so handsome,
And you talked with such care,
That my heart started to warm,
Warming with every word,
Those words that you spoke,
That I loved so dearly.

But you had a life,
Filled with much joy,
That you didn't need someone,
Someone like me,
To help make the darkness,
Slowly fade away.

Instead I became this,
Lost and confused,
I want to die,
Rather than dread,
What I could have had.

His name,
You ask,
I cannot say,
For I slowly drift,
Drifting away,
Away from you,
From him,
And from love.

Time keeps on ticking,
Slowly but surely,
I cry ever day,
But at least I can say,
That I have felt love,
At least once in this lonely, dark life.

    I like the first and the third stanzas of this poem the most. They're really effective and greatly written. The rest of it isn't bad but it could be even better. It is very emotional but you could make more powerful atmosphere with some metaphors.

    I adore that stanza...it was so beautifully written.
    Emotion and depth scream out from beyond the words in this piece...you did a wonderful job on such a sad poem.

    Wow this was so sweet.. I agree with Wallace the title was beautiful and the poem was just as good.. you know its love when you'd rather give up the person you love than cause them any pain but just remember if they love you back that giving them up could hurt them more than you can even imagine. nice work.
