Vacuity

My heart is ripping open at the seam

Each stitch broken by every passing beat

Time is frozen - it’s just me and me

I’m alone with the past and future to be.

 

Cradling my broken self, I’m lulled to sleep

I don’t want to live in this reality

My dreams are my getaway - the only thing that’s real

So leave me here as I cease to feel.

The emotion in this poem is amazing. It's very relatable and I felt it in every word. Nice work!

Bravo!! I love this poem... you managed to maintain the same "vibe" throughout the whole poem (I like feeling vibes). For me, I consistently felt numbness - fitting. :) Great job!!!

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I was hoping for a numb/emotionless interpretation. I guess there's really no other way to read it though. Haha. Thanks!
