His Own

His Own

A Poem by Justin E

He read a book
to have a lover that wasn't his own

He watched a movie
to feel the pain that wasn't his own

He sang a song
to speak the sorrow that wasn't his own

He tied a noose
to forget the life that was his own

What a lifeless life this poem speaks of, what numbness! I love how you used only a handful of words to express such great sorrow. Very well written. Keep writing. x
