Never Again
(1 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5, rated)
Loading ...It is my destiny
An undeniable truth I have faced
A realization that cannot be hidden anymore
In solitude…
Barren
A wind that leaves me afraid and cold
The echoes of it’s presence
Following me wherever I may go
Reminding me of that last touch
That last whisper,
So sweet and gently placed upon my ears
To which I will never feel, nor hear
Once again
Alone
In a sea of awkward togetherness
Alone
I stand in silence
A vacancy never to be occupied
It’s cruel punishment cast upon me
Finding it’s refuge within my hollow spaces
Forever lost behind the walls of time
Each second, each minute, each hour
Ticking by, filling my mind
Painfully reminiscent of what should have been,
What could have been
And ultimately what needs to be again
It is a pain I live with
Every blistering scar across my heart
Wishing it would end, peacefully cease
Because holding onto the thought of ‘what it SHOULD be’
Is mere worse than the factual thought
Of ‘what it never CAN be’
I have always been filled with the gift of expressing myself through words, and have been writing ever since I can remember. It is only until lately, due to unexpected circumstances, that i have focused more attention to honing my literary skills. And my topic of choice is the unrelentess...the heartwarming, as well as breaking, voice of poetry.
I was completely lost in this poem of loss, very well written, liked it very much.

@Ray, Thank you very much. That was my main intention–to get the readers lost in a flood of emotions.
