Abandoned

I can't seem to recall

I can't seem to know

I can't hear them

I can't see them



I hurt

I hurt



This solitude stringing

through my heart

tightening moreso

squeezing every last drop

of my life out



I die

I die



They look at me

I reach for them

They frown

I cry more

They walk

I fall

They abandon me

I don't know exactly what you're referring to in this piece but I do know that I can relate to the words as though they were my own. I have been abandoned, I know very well the pain and you've captured the feeling and the emotion perfectly.

Blessings and I hope that this is your muse and not something that you're going through.

Peace & Infinite Blessings,

Nate

sorry i haven't been on in a long time

This particular piece? It relates to something I went through, but just a feeling. I just felt like that was happening to me, but it wasn't as bad as my mind let on. It was rough but I have prevailed. I have a little more faith in life now. But not all my poems are life related. I appreciate the comment though.

I wonder if I have lost my talent for poetry. It's been a long time since I wrote, but I did write a new one whispers in the rain.
