just about where I want to be

0 posted 2000-01-27 09:20 AM


Someone say something
Anything at all
Heart start beating again
Silence cuts through like a knife

Someone do something
Stop the questions in my head
Give me the answers
The questions rage like fire

Help me, please
I'm dying inside
Let me know he'll be back
To hold me once more

My heart is breaking
My head is pounding
My voice strains to call his name
My ears ache for his voice

I want
I need
I cry
I hurt
I love
My heart breaks..and dies

I can totally relate to your poem right now.  Keep putting your feelings onto paper like chic says- it does help, even if it's hard to do.  Keep up the good work.

This one would do well in the dark poetry forum, nevertheless, I like it!

scg: i love the way this poem starts off, but i somehow feel that something is missing in the last stanza... it becomes repetitive and i think that causes it to lose some of its profound meaning... perhaps consider variating the lines in the last stanza (even just a little bit)... i think it would add a lot more to an already wonderful poem... here's an example of what i was thinking of:

I want
...need
I cry
...hurt
I love
...fear
My heart breaks
...and without remorse
comes Death.

(just a suggestion -- you do what you feel makes the poem the most meaningful to you)

sincerely,
jerome the boy with the catholic saxophone



 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
