PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Do you hate me now?
I guess you have a right to.
Are you bewildered by me?
Or just too down to respond?

I know you're going through a lot.
Don't you know how much I wish
I could ease your burden?
Don't you know how my heart is breaking
Knowing I can do nothing?

If only I actually meant something,
meant something to you...
Perhaps I could make a difference...
cheer you up, or comfort you.

But I am nothing,
like a curious fish that once
caught your attention...
You have forgotten me.

So now my heart breaks,
and night after night,
I long to see you,
to talk to you.

Will this pain ever end?
I wish you would talk to me one last time.
Be honest, be harsh, just please, please respond.
If you yell at me, at least I know you are okay.
Maybe I could apologize, if you let me.

Otherwise, I fade away.
A small fish in a huge sea,
drowning in my sorrows,
gasping to breathe,
trying to survive...
