Empty
I am Empty.
I have nothing more
to give.
I have nothing more
of my own.
Everything I had
I gave.
Pride; Gone
Courage; Gone
Respect, Honesty, Dignity;
Gone, Gone, Gone.
all feeling is gone
and I am empty.

I gave it all
to you,
and you threw
it all away.
you gave it all
to me,
and I gently
gave it back.
for you I did care
for me you did not,
Gone, Gone, Gone;
is what you are.
I am still here,
and I am empty.

I Don't know, I don't know anymore if it's even worth it.......

ex animo,
Aaron

It's worth it still! ((hugs)) It WILL get better, and you WILL stop feeling empty eventually. Keep writing, is all I say.

Love me, because I am great (greater than Zu, anyway!)

Really well done. I mean there's so much power within this simple piece. I think you expressed yourself in this way that it just comes out pure. Like, unfiltered and uncensored. You did great here.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

What an awesome poem.  I feel the emotion here and I'm sorry you feel so poorly.  I hope that you are getting better and that things get better for you soon.  If you ever need to talk feel free to e-mail me.

Life is what you make it.  Live each day as if it was your last.

Aaron,

Life is worth it. You never know what the next corner of life will have around it. Great expression you have shown here.

Hey WOW!!!   I've been so busy as of late that I havn't checked my e-mail and what do I see when I do.  Like 14 or 15 people have responded to my post.  I think that's the most I've ever had.

Thnx for all the concern.  I'm fine I was just in a really bad mood the day I wrote this.   Thnx for all the reponses.  I'm horrible about staying in touch.  Later all.

Aww this isn't too good, Aaron. If you don't feel it's worth it, find a reason you wanted it in the first place. If you can't find a reason, then don't. No one needs to have their heart thrown around for the hell of it.

Take care and thanks for the read.

Wow, Aaron.  The power depite the simplicity of this piece is really strong.  I think you did a fine job, I especially like the short lines.  It fit very well with the emotion you were trying to portray.

This isn't such a good situation, though.  *hugs* I'm sorry you're faced with this.  Good luck.

Very well done.

Don't we all just feel that way when things go wrong in a relationship?
You'll find that you actually still have them
and you'll eventually share it to the right person
thanks for the read
