Drifting on the soul

0 posted 2005-11-24 05:42 AM


My amusement has always been
In finding things when you're not looking
Like happiness, and pain
And the quiet times of love
All I have found without search
But yesterday
In the clutch of subconciousness
And a moment of daydream
I think I found myself

My girlfriend wrote of me in her diary

'...a man lost of love, and full with taint, to the brim, leaving no room for me. These last few months have been cold, and I've often sat in the loft for nights on end, alone. Softly, silently, reading his poetry while he's asleep, and sneaking downstairs and stealing a stare. Remembering all too well, the man he used to be, and crying for the man he is now, and dying for the man he may never be...if I stay.'

I looked in the mirror
But I never saw myself.
I've been living blind
Not knowing where I'd been
How I'd changed
Or where I was going!

How often we loose ourselves along lifes sometimes deadly roads. And the only true hope is that we realize it before it's to late and we become what we've always feared. I enjoyed your poem alot and you should read my poem titled "To my reflection." It kind of expresses what your girlfriend noticed about you.
