just crying,
but without the tears
such is the way of change
everyone hurts
a grim life
when it becomes too much
supposedly a door
this protracted agony
here with the tragic shame of same
i am alone, can you touch me
all through this darkness
i grope
the day offers light
still the struggle
just filling clothes
there's no loving caress
no mother's smile nor sweet mom smell
unknown is a father's scratchy hug or giant grin
my heart is haggard, do you feel me
meandering through the world and the clock
blank thoughts wrapped in partyless birthdays
hollow and wistful as family picnics never laughed
sleep without pleasant dreams or goodnight kiss
only cold crying night and empty endless day
i am not ugly, will you hear me
never knowing a single, simple good wish
this ball of cosmic dirt is barren and still
funny, i don't feel evil as reprobate
i am alone, will you hold me
my world is silent, please love me

Okay my first response to this was. OMFG this is so sad. I felt like watching you pull back layers and layers of pain and the feeling of being so alone. I treasure your writing and how you lay your heart out. The last stanza broke my heart. I can hear the child within you....
"i am alone, will you hold me
my world is silent, please love me"
*hugs you tight*
Beautifully and soulfully penned, my friend.
Peace and hugs,

its not often poems make me cry. i hardly know my father let a lone know what its like to hug him. to me fathers day was always just another day. yet i always felt hollow and unloved because of it. i guess it didnt help i wasnt very close to my mum after my step dad came on the scene, thankfully that loser is gone now.
you poem near the end felt like it was coming from my heart as this is one of the more sensitive areas i hardly ever put pen to paper to express.
seriously im still crying... |
