I am everywhere

I sit alone in the darkness ... trying to word my thoughts.

We walked along the concrete...
you touched each wall we past.

I sit alone in the darkness...
remembering every feeling.

We paved thick shadows that night...
but if i went back today...they'd have faded.

(when things seem to pact, so strong.. it's amazing how easily they fall apart)

I sit alone in the darkness...

i want to love you again.
I could feel you thinking...i could taste you breathing.

(when thing seem like they'd last forever.. it's amazing how simply fragile they are)

My words are mixed, my thoughts are bruised,
but that doesn't matter..for i know i loved you.

My heart is shattered, my mind cluttered,
but i'll always remember this summer,
and think when I loved you...

(it's amazing how one simple soul can destroy an entire life, yet open up a new world.. a world of mystery and darkness... and sometimes, when you get lost in that new world, you find your self.. battered and broken.Then you feel better, knowing that it was real while it lasted... somehow, it comforts you.-but it's a mystery)

Please ... leave me to burn, and live you life of curiosity, and live it with grace...Never come back.

for I would never wish to ruin you, like you have ruined me.

Sara, I think that your writing gets better with each post.

You are becoming more expressive and introspective.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

again
this I like
passion consumes itself
yet better the pain of the flame than the cold of not feeling anything

This was a great poem.  Its imagery is well done, especially your descriptions of the present darkness in contrast to the memories of life with the person being addressed.

Perhaps a little more attention to spelling would make this an even better poem.  This line:

"when things seem to pact, so strong.. it's amazing how easily they fall apart"

is somewhat confusing with.  Is it "when things seen so packed" or "when things seem too packed"?

Other than that, this is a really good poem.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

Fractal-
I think she meant
pact
as in
a bond formed between two people
a promise
that was apparently broken
Everyone is right, Sara
you are getting STRONGER
and
keep em' coming

Arthur*
I don't know ... sometimes I wish I were numb, than to feel ... but most of the time (in fact, any other time but now) I rather burn, than freeze.

Fractal*
I believe you've misunderstood... but thanks anyway.. ha,

Brian*
Thanks for sticking with me here...    I don't think I'm stronger, actually (I don't know where all that's coming from...midnight son claims that my depression is disappearing with each post ... but I feel worse than ever. I don't get it.) but I think there may be more anger ... if anything.  

Thanks to everyone ... more times that I can count.

It may not feel like it
but the poetic mind
sometimes speaks louder than
the ego
ie: the one that is hurting
maybe you DO have strength
but a part of you
doesn't want to see it
well WE see it in your words
take care
brian
