I TRIED TO REACH OUT TO YOU
AND GET A HOLD OF YOU
BUT ALL I GOT WAS OPEN SPACE
FRUSTRATED, I TRIED AGAIN,
IN VAIN
FOR MY EMPTY FISTS HELD NO TRACE OF YOU
AND IT TOOK A WHILE BEFORE I REALIZED
YOU WERE NOTHING
AND I'D HAD YOU ALL ALONG
Author's Notes/Comments:
This poem is about coping with what may not always be best for you. It is not necessarily about a lost love or friendship.... but then again, it might be! (I misspelled the title of this poem on PURPOSE, for all you harsh critics out there!)
I really like this poem. What a way of expressing a love you don't need. Uniquely done.
