If I was to..

by Yakari Gabriel   Dec 11, 2011


If I was to,
take off all my
thoughts tonight,
as if they were
nothing but
uncomfortable clothes..

If I was to,
shove them
down that little
hole in the door

would you still
try to peek in
and see whats going on?..

If I was to
get rid of my masochism
and accept that
your presence
is like witnessing
pain with flesh
and bones..

would you do
something to change
the way I perceive
having you near?...

tell me,

If I was to pour out
my heart in this poem,
If I was to tell you
that I've skipped a million
meals before,
but I've never felt this
empty..

that I've cried my
eyes until sleep
and I've changed my dreams
for impotence

would you once again
cradle me in your arms
till I find my sanity.?

would you,
would you not,

love me again?...

    I really like this. You have such powerful emotion behind your words.

    The part about crying til sleep seemed a little weird to me until I figured it out and then I was all "Duh!!", lol! I'm slow sometimes! : )
    Anyway, well done!!!

    So much sadness in your words..almost as if you have been trying to ignore these thoughts for such a while and now....all of a sudden they have all come rushing back at once.

    You write your best when you show your vulnerable side and this one is one of your best writes in my opinion.

    Another heartbreaking, emotional and vulnerable piece from you -- always your finest poetry, but yes, it does make me want to hug you. There is something about this piece that screams an innocent child being left behind in the shadows.. it just breaks my heart.

    "If I was to tell you
    that I've skipped a million
    meals before,
    but I've never felt this
    empty.."

    This is something I have been able to relate to, I thought it was really very strong, and again with the heartbreaking tone. You really got my emotions here.

    Sometimes being sad, being dark and being lost..makes others more interested ,,,more sympathetic to discover us, heal us, love us..show us the right track..

    sometimes we feel like we want to bare mind of ours and that soul of ours from everything coating it. and to stand there in the face of this life..and see what happens next.

    sometimes i find myself too inspired to write a sane comment after rreading your poems..

    i love it
