This Room And You

if you ever knew

how truly alone

I was,

surrounded by an

ever increasing clutter

of empty beer cans

and fruit flies,

you might think twice...

I wake up thinking

it's late enough

to start drinking,

because what else

do I have?

Some poetry

some longing

and a few photographs

to keep me company

and sate these desires

I have for you...

I've had blurred nights

and crossed blurred lines

shouting into the night

then sitting in a filthy alley

exhausted with not a soul

to seek comfort from...

I curse gods

I curse all

and everything

that keeps the

most amazing person

out of reach...

you want to fill this room with smoke

with music and philosophy,

just open the door,

I implore you,

it will pour out like a

smashed fish tank,

then come inside

in here with me,

shut the door

and let the room fill anew,

let us drown in all that is you and I.

This poem shows so much emotion. It really lets readers into the thoughts going through the head of a lonely man who loves but is not loved himself. His life is portrayed descriptively and in a way that makes the reader feel empathy toward him and his empty life. This is a very good piece.

This is so sweet, yet so sad. I would melt if a guy ever wrote something like this for me. She must be a lucky lady:) You can really feel the energy you feel towards her through your writing, very strong

dude, you always always always have the readers back. Every single time. the fish tank exploding and how you tie it up from there... reason by itself to find myself back here. :)
