In an upside-down garden

0 posted 2001-01-09 08:25 AM


Silence fills my heart,
and echos in my head,
the beat of a different drum,
every word you said.

Empty, all alone,
forgotten, but still here,
reflecting a sad life,
pushing to be near.

Heartache, pain and sorrow,
inside me these all creep,
crying out for you,
maybe you'll see me weep.

All alone, but not forgiven,
the pain I cause is my own.
I try to see things from a diferent way,
my feelings cry to be shown.

With or without you,
there's no possible way,
for me to go on,
for another day.

With or without you,
I am not whole,
without you,
I am not my own.

I am cold,
and bearing fear,
hands aged,
beyond my years.

Struggling,
to see the light again,
to be perfect,
for you again.

I try,
but don't know what to do,
I cannot be,
with or without you.

----------------------------------------------------
Just a little something I came up with. Hope you like it.

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

OMG!!! this is really good.  This is probably the best of your that I've read.

"All alone, but not forgiven,
the pain I cause is my own.
I try to see things from a diferent way,
my feelings cry to be shown."

What a beautiful way to put such hurting words.  The poem is totally awesome.  I love it.  You outdid yourself this time asylla  

"Empty, all alone,
forgotten, but still here,
reflecting a sad life,
pushing to be near."

These words shows so much about reality in life, specially the second line.  BRAVO!!!

Thanks for the most beautiful read

I was also most impressed, but this is the first of your work that I have seen, so I cannot compare it.
Very nicely written.  Confusion allows the best poetry to shine through.

Eternal life without the darkness isn't life at all- it is a lobotomy.

That was great.  I haven't been on in a while, so I haven't seen any of your other pieces. After reading this one, I think I will look for your others.  I can't wait to read more from you.

"...With or without you--i can't live, with or without you..."

Sorry, the second i saw the title that U2 song just popped into my head...

Soulful writting, masterfully crafted...a certain ring of a pain misunderstood, or maybe not understood at all convulses through the piece like some hellish tidal wave, bent a wrecking some hapless coastal settlement...ah...(whew)...
What all that is trying to say is...well, good job...hehe.

Of all of the strange and terrible things i have borne cruel wittness--this is the foremost...
