Room For One More

by Ben   Apr 22, 2006


I push it out,
And fake a smile.
There's nothing left,
To make it all worth while.

Night forms,
And I'm all alone.
Dawn breaks.
I'm on my own.

Emptiness fills my heart,
The dark night consumes my soul.
Day by day I'm torn apart.
I remember the days when I was whole.

I've become a ghost.
I'm facing this by myself.
This world isn't real to me any more,
...Any more...

When I look in the mirror,
I don't see anything.
I just disappear.
...Disappeared...

The walls fall down around me,
But I don't notice.
Everyday seems the same,
And here I am, left alone,
Trying to build a life out of ripped paper.

As the years press on,
I'mm not sure What's real.
Not sure if I am really here,
But there is always room for one more.

I push it out,
And fake a smile.
There's nothing left,
To make it all worth while.

Night forms,
And I'm all alone.
Dawn breaks.
And I know there's room for one more.

    A very good poem in my opinion ben. very dark and depressive. i could feel the passion within it. in fact, as i read on, i began to read slower and slower. that's what happened when i read, at certain points i read faster or slower, depending on the situation, but only with good writing. i loved the first two stanzas. i felt they flowed nicely. well, i shall speak to you soon. feel free to read some of mine, even some of the older ones if you want...or you could just not bother entirly, whatever suits you the best, lol.
    see ya

    Oh my...that's...that's really, really sad. Seriously, that's really sad. I feel an overwhelming sadness now. I feel really unhappy. : (. That's amazingly well written, Ben. And you can just tell you mean it; it's so sad. : (. *Hugs*. I hope you're alright doll, I know things will clear up eventually. Please take care. I love you dearly.

    Much love,
