Gesture of Dejection

by Sunshine   Aug 18, 2012


In such an eerie evening, you have
once left me standing alone
in the absolute awe of fault;
I got lost in a continual pause.

Stripped on a lime scrap of
green meadows;
when believe me I preferred digging
agony with you in the nastiest field
you might uncover with your dirt.

Tied to my tongue, this bitter night
wraps every single speck of my senses,
unable to put my sadness across
so that I burst into tears from corner to corner.

Moaning aimlessly, I pull the curtains
down to my bare feet for darkness
to consume every milky inch left
of my body.

I merge with the creepiness of
your absence, becoming a part
of my own lonesome.
Oh how flimsy...
You always knew I would be
nothing more than a sculpture of fragility
without you filling me within.

Ever forgot yourself
dangled in your basement like
old gear ? For I have, and it
made me fruitless
unrewarding,
ineffectively useless.

But in this eerie evening,
I chose not to blame you
for my sadness, for my burden,
though you are my burden,
but I will blame my hormones;
perhaps ...a gesture of dejection.

Let's just keep our past a secret.

    It is the way you write that always takes me into another world, your world, I can always feel you in your writes, it makes me feel I know you in person...like the sadness you pen is raw and deep...and although it is usually short lived (you are just one strong woman) it stays within me...

    I love the emotion you pour into everything...just devastatingly brilliant

    There are some lines in here that are so amazingly well-written and thougt of, like "blame my hormones" ... women! :P

    it's like you're trying to get rid of regret? by blaming it on something else?

    gr8 use of colors in the begnning, too! ;)

    To err is human beings, we serve. Forgiveness, demands no reserve.

    The tone of this poem gave me chills. Had to reread it a few times because it was so well written and expressed. I have to agree with the previous comment about the ending, which was also my favorite part. Beautiful write.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm glad you wrote this- Very proud of you...
    You have to let this out...

    I adore the way you word the pain from within... You used exciting words to describe a very deep pain. It allowed the reader to come alive and be sucked into your stanzas.... the ending says it all... powerful write Nana!!
