THE ANATOMY OF NONEXISTENCE(Move Along)

by Gary Jurechka   Apr 18, 2006


After years of wanting
nothing came,
after years of waiting
nothing changed,
after years of hoping
it was all in vain.

Move along,
there's nothing more to see,
move along,
forget about all that could be.

All this time waiting for your love
to appear at my door,
wasting away, fading away, dying
for something I can't have anymore.

Move along,
there's nothing here to see,
move along,
this space I'm in is so empty.

I don't exist when you don't see me,
I don't exist when you're not here,
when you're not with me I just disappear.

Move along,
there's nothing left to see,
move along,
just stare right through me.

I fade away when you are gone,
I don't exist when you're not here,
I am only alive when you are near.

Move along,
there's nothing more to see,
move along,
and just leave me be.

I can't see, so delusional and naive,
I keep holding on
to what I want to believe.

Move along,
there's nothing left to see,
move along,
just another dead body
that once was me.

Move along,
there's nothing more to see,
move along, move along,
there's nothing left of me,

only a ghost of what I used to be.

    Wow another amazing poem!
    what can i say; your words really touch my heart and take my breath away. i haven't seen talent like this in a while..
    your poems are beyond exceptional.

    in this one, i especailly loved this stanza:
    "I fade away when you are gone,
    I don't exist when you're not here,
    I am only alive when you are near."

    but overall it's a great poem! and i don't think these words even do it justice..
    keep up the great work!
