Unnoticed

by Yakari Gabriel   Nov 24, 2011


All the loneliness
you'd often find yourself in,
created a haunting atmosphere

too fragile to dream,
yet still capable
of wishing upon empty
stars..

you sat there
with your knees bend
your mouth shut
and exclamation points
falling from your insides,
placing themselves
behind the word
"dead"

no one knew
you held a soul
full of summer,
no one knew
your heart was
composed
of innocence
and that the
soil of your mind
was in perfect condition..

and when the night fell,
humanity missed
the falling meteors
that were shooting
from your auburn hair

but,

"some suicides
are never recorded"

and rightly so..

no one wants
to replay death
anyways.

Thanks Mel for always lighting bulbs in our tiny heads.

    I tried so hard to do this prompt, and you and Lu just totally kicked butt.

    "no one knew
    you held a soul
    full of summer,"

    I love this. Wistful, sad, yet almost hopefuly.

    The ending, no one wants to reply death anyways, is just fantastic. I absolutely love it.

    Somehow I felt very tranquil as I read this. Yes it was sad, but I had a feeling of peace. While at the same time I also felt a piercing ache in my heart. Very paradoxical. Both the poem and my feelings when I read it.

    ^I loved how this was very paradox-like. You feel as though you can't dream anymore yet you can still wish upon stars, which gives that feeling of hope and makes this loneliness not seem as bad.

    you sat there
    with your knees bend
    your mouth shut
    and exclamation points
    falling from your insides,
    placing themselves
    behind the word
    "dead"
    ^'Bend' should be 'bent' - I must say I adored the exclamation points part, it makes me think of a fallen star and you wishing upon it. This connects so well with the stanza above this one. I found it odd however how you associate them with death, for normally I think of excitement when I see them in writing. Interesting, this has me thinking. I'm anticipating a very sad ending.

    I loved how the ending unraveled, it was perfect. The sadness really sets in and makes your heart heavy with sadness. Loved how you went about Mel's prompt, you used it with much creativity. Well done Yaki!
