Questions

by Chelsey   Sep 15, 2012


Do you know what it's like to yearn for someone
whose heart beat you'll never get to hear?
Your mind imagining it daily, memorizing the sound,
pondering the race of their pulse, and if you'd ever be the one
to slow it down and speed it up-
Let me tell you, I have.

Have you ever wondered where they are, the exact moment
their face scrolls through your mind and their voice
playfully taps the inside of your ear drums?
Tormenting you because fate has reassured you,
this is not a winning game, in no way will your desires come to life-
I've been victimized by this.

Why does reality have to be so real, to where we don't get
the only thing that makes sense to us? We are left here,
fighting feelings we wish to lavish them in, craving touches
that have never existed. Yet, our mind has experienced them-
Trust me, I replay it in my head.

Who could be so strong? To say forget this world
and the mess it's in, you are the only cleansing my soul needs.
I'd like to adopt that strength and give my all to you,
believe in possibilities, and fight the pessimists-
Honestly, I debate it more than you know.

I lay here; awake in a bed that needs your warmth
to aid my chilled bones, to complete this other side of me.
Questioning, when will answers appear at my doorstep,
and will they arrive with you?

    This is absolutely amazing Chels. I was blown away while reading it. Entering this world you've described here of yearning for somebody you cannot have. *Sigh* such a sad feeling that must be. I just really love this, I relate to it more than you know. This poem gives off such a sad tone it seems, due to the feelings involved & the thought of never knowing if this person will eventually become the warmth in your heart... yet it also screams love. Sitting there thinking of another person, who may or may not be thinking of you, or even know that you're thinking of them.. How highly you think of this person, for all you need is their loving care by your side and everything will turn out fine.. I simply love it, great job. Seriously.

    Chelsey, I just have to say that I love the whole poem and the questions which were thought provoking. I found myself nodding in some when I was reading.

    However, I couldn't help myself to have a nice laugh due to this question:

    Why does reality have to be so real, to where we don't get
    the only thing that makes sense to us? SEE!! isn't reality supposed to be real? and I laughed because things like this confuses my mind do to the resemblance in the words, but I love pondering and complicating my life with this type of sentences. haha

    Afterwards, I paid attention to the rest. And I thought tht you meant to say that the truth hurts. That the only thing that makes sense to you, you can't have. That in your reality you have picture, imagine everything that has happened in your dreams, but they feel so real and to you that's your reality. That's where you are living at the moment. It's a mixture of both, your reality is this someone but you can't have him in the real. XD

    Well done, That question stole my whole attention.

    Amazingly amazing chels!!!!*hugs*
    You always portray the best of emotions and this ones yet another example of it!

    Do you know what it's like to yearn for someone
    whose heart beat you'll never get to hear?
    Your mind imagining it daily, memorizing the sound,
    pondering the race of their pulse, and if you'd ever be the one
    to slow it down and speed it up-

    This verse is apt to commence the poem! Desires and longing for someone to be so.close to you that their acts control your feelings and so can you..

    Have you ever wondered where they are, the exact moment
    their face scrolls through your mind and their voice
    playfully taps the inside of your ear drums?
    Tormenting you because fate has reassured you,
    this is not a winning game, in no way will your desires come to life-
    I've been victimized by this.

    This just keeps on getting better.... I am completely in flow with the poem... the way you.ask questions and then.answer them is just amazing!!

    Beautiful(:
