You on my mind

By wandering druid

Why does my tongue twist
when i try to tell you how i feel?
Why can't my eyes meet yours anymore?
Why can i not pour my soul out to you
(for you are the one who will understand)

Living without your voice
destroys my sanity
while waking to see
the empty space where you were in my dreams
leaves me bereft of any joy...

I ask why I cannot be with you
And I see no reason why
Save for when I cut myself from you
Sorrow spills like blood
For me to pen my words

But now
when I see a life
where we no longer speak
I cannot help thinking
that these words...

written from sorrow...


from despair...


might not be worth it

    beautifully deep and heart-breaking with your usual expertise in pondered flow, somberly written...i can feel the words deepening the emptiness of loneliness...

    This is very well written. The sadness that drives this write is something I know all too well.

    When you lose touch from someone you thought would never leave you for something stupid *or whatever* that you did, it hurts the most and for the longest then just about any other emotion that you can feel...but it can be topped. Good job.
