Did I Mean to Love ?

by Owner of an Untamed Heart   Dec 29, 2013


I wake up restlessly
But I can never go back to sleep
Without your energy
I die a little more each day
Promises of love with my flaws
Was all that I had asked for
I was left with darkness to partake in

Not a sound was made
Only saddened glances
The kiss was the only mistake
But I took my chances
The goodbye was said
In your most softest caress
Only arriving in the winter
Three seasons later, you had left

Now I'm curious
As to why I let myself sink so low
Was loving you the intentional goal ?
Or did I accidentally let go ?
Did I really know that I would fall ?

    I wake up restlessly
    But I can never go back to sleep

    ^^ The first two lines pulled me into this piece and made me very interested in what you had to say. They talk about you yourself but it still felt like the piece was going to be directed to one specific person who really needed to hear what you were dying to say. The lines "Without your energy I die a little more each day" seem a little over used and i wondered at first if you could have done something more creative but thinking about it again it fit the piece well and was a wonderful choice, good job. Great intro.

    ^^ I like this stanza but that could just be because i really relate at the moment. The first three lines are absolutely stunning and I am really glad you came up with that as your transition. Its great that you turn words into actions or actions into words because when we care about people we tend to read more into their actions than we do their words. That's only human but poetry is more about the words to describe an emotion or event instead of words themselves, so wonderful. (sorry it took me so long to get to the point itself...)

    ^^ending a piece with questions is a wonderful idea when you don't over do it. You did well here. The emotion of each one just oozes over the piece. Great job.

    Amazing piece. Great write.
