Watching

Looking out the window, I confess as I see torrents of my jealousy and misery pour down to earth… And please this is not about love…

I’m jealous. Of all the times I had you by my side.

And now you are not.

I see you with them who I believe are not worth you.

Am I then? I don’t have an answer.

Maybe I could hurt myself; tear my skin.

You’d come back then, like old times, compassionate.

Would you? Wouldn’t you?

I can’t give you what you want; I’m sorry I know

I’m doing wrong for wishing you by my side.

Selfish. Cruel. You are to me what you are.

And you will be forever still.

I hope you remember my words, and those tears.

For they are now lost amidst pain; numb and sore.

My eyes are watching you. And I know that you know.

And I’ll be waiting; for I believe that day will come…

Like old times…till then…

Poignant write heartfelt , we all know this pain so well!

[Tori Hughes]

this... i burst into tears when i read it. it reminded me of the relationship i had with a boy once. although mine ended with me in the mental hospital. this is so very deep, and very easy to relate to, even without a lot of personal information about you. keep it up.

[being me]

thank you...i can't be happy since you burst into tears but i'm glad you recognized the pain that i go through...

[Tori Hughes]

oh no, be happy. be happy that your wonderful poetry brought that kind of emotion to someone who doesn't know a thing about you, and was still able to sympathize so well because of your words. it was fantastic.

I reach but you are not there,yet I know you feel me. I scream but you do not hear, yet I know you sense me. I cry but you do not care, yet something inside of me tells me you do, you will and I will be waiting. Very nice, very nice indeed. I can feel your need and your desire through your beautiful words.

We look back too late. Learn to late to been kinder and quiet. All of us hold regret for losing a special person. Few second chances in a life. Powerful description create vision of pain and loss. Thank you for the excellent poem.
