Losing Everything

Inside, I do not feel so well

Nothing getting in or out, my heart remains this bitter shell

And you run off somewhere to a place of grace

Leaving me to these cuts on my broken face

Feeling so alone, I don't know exactly how to mend

Didn't you realize, that you were my only friend?

But it's not really so bad

It's just me losing everything I ever had

And I'm not really as damaged as I make myself seem

Only at night, I can no longer dream

Even though I cannot feel you anymore

I still sit here wishing for you to come through the door

But wishes are only for the young and naive

Too many times in my life have I been deceived

But the clouds, they pass me by

Day after day, I look at myself and then let out a sigh

I'm not quite what I used to be

No longer can I recite beautiful poetry

Instead, I attach these black disgusting wings

Listening to the other voice telling me that I always lose,

Never will I win

Posted by Joeloftus 2008-08-16 17:08:59 Sorrow Very dark sentiments here, but expressed very well. Question...is it a loss due to death, a survivors guilt, or a lost love? Seems very final. + Report this comment

Posted by lemon 2008-08-19 18:00:44 .... Great poem depicting a loss of someone. Its so frustrating when we lose a friend or a significant other especially if you were very close to them. It sucks to know they are still out there doing their own thing without you, while you're left in their wake. Good job =] + Report this comment
Posted by Amerz 2008-08-19 22:16:37 .... I am really liking your work. Get that Been There Feeling. Brings a lot back to me that I had often felt. Though my choices have turned a little I think it is all still very emotional. Emotions lets you know your still alive. One way or the other! + Report this comment
Posted by Pilgrim 2008-09-13 19:01:53 .... O the power of self deception. I've tried convincing myself that things were okay when in reality they weren't. Hey, maybe that's what I'm doing now. Yeah, I feel ya, I can never win. Good job. + Report this comment
