In devastation
I drown in tears of my own
and I realize
I’d rather hurt by your side
than smile when I’m alone.

Hmmmm…. but the underlying idea is having someone be that close to you, despite the pain and tears. That should not be scary!

I think the lack of comments on this one poem made me think that I left people speechless… was it too dark? But this is me, so… is there a ‘too dark’? This kind of is my life but I wasn’t even really thinking about it that way… it just came out. I guess that, in itself, means something…

Poetry can be that way. I have read and liked a poem and been left without the right words or only stuff that would sound trite so I don’t say anything. Although lately I feel bad not commenting when I really like something so I’ve started saying that: I’m speechless! And I think we’ve both concluded that the dark stuff makes for much better writing anyway. (Except for happy ending romances!)

Exactly! I am often speechless when it comes to commenting. I’ve said it before… I may love something but if I can’t think of what to say, I don’t know what to do as I don’t want to sound like a complete moron. LOL
