Blood Shot Eyes

Blood shot eyes,

Tear filled still,

Going through the days

Wondering why?

 

Why didn't you tell me,

Sooner that you did

So I wouldn't have to suffer

or be hurting like this now

 

Blood shot eyes,

Sleepless nights

Laying awake

Thinking of you.

 

Always wishing,

To be with you again.

Knowing it could work

Hopping it would happen

So accurate

You have described the experience with great accuracy and succinct precision.  Such feelings are, they tell me, universal, but few can articulate them.  A friend of mine, one of the greatest poets on the Internet, believes all poetry was created to express the emotion of love lost or abandoned.  While I disagree with its primacy, in his theory, I think it was the secondary cause, most certainly.  Poems of loss can be great poems, but they arise from great burdens.

Thank you for the kind words,

Thank you for the kind words, When ever I have something I want to get out or need to get out and talking about it just wont work I write it down in a poem and it relives me of the felling for a while, its my way of coping with how hard life gets sometimes.
