avman Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Though our eyes have never met I see you every day I have never held you But I fall asleep with you in my arms I carry a piece of you with me All the days of my life Crying out to the heavens That one day our paths will again meet Will you remember? Will you understand? Will you love me? The empty space in photos The stillness of the room The black chasm in my heart Time passes by So many questions With answers that elude me Are you safe? Are you happy? Are you loved? Mistakes, evil, desperation, deceit Tortorous visions that live on still Portraits of humanity Best left dead and buried Such small solace Desperate measures Desperate actions Today of all days I miss you more than ever Link to comment
TheRedQueen Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 this is my interpretation of your poetry: the speaker has lost his father, perhaps even before he was born, and he longs for a connection that can only be met in some torturous emotional realm, as opposed to a physical one. I really connected to this poem, whether or not my interpration was right on, or way off. Link to comment
AnotherBrokenDoll Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Wow i love the poem... TheRed Queen and i definitely had different interpretations of it... I thought more about a love that has never loved you back or something along those lines... But either way the words are great the flow is awesome and i really liked it Link to comment

avman Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 It is unusual for me to do this, that's true. Every once in awhile though I need an outlet just like everybody else. Link to comment
yeawutever Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Every once in awhile though I need an outlet just like everybody else. Yea, think this is the first time you wrote a poem. Good to hear you're expressing what you're feeling. True, everyone lets go of their outlets at a point they don't feel like talking about it in person, so writing makes it easier. Link to comment
