The Void

by Blackthistle   Nov 17, 2006


I'm in a void
I don't know where
Why would I know?
Why would I care?
When I know you'll never be there..
I'm lost
I'm scared
I'm where I'm dared
My heart's been teared.
Why can't you fill my void..
I'm in a hole
I don't know why
Why do I run?
Why do I cry?
When I know you'll never hear..
I'm in the mist
I can't see
Why is it dark?
Why is it light?
When things can't ever be right..
I'm in the shadow
It's so dark
Why do I hide?
Why do I die?
When I know, for me, you won't cry..
I'm in the light
It's so bright
Why do I sit?
Why do I write?
When I know you'll never be in my sight..
I'm standing here
I'm all alone
Why do I wait?
Why do I fear?
When you'll never come here..
Look for me beside the pond
I'm waiting, sighing, there for you..
Please rescue me
From my shadows
Please save me
From my light
I want it to end..
I long for the night..

    I like this poem, its different. =)

    the emotion displayed is deep, and that boosts the poem.

    the flow is a little off, with a discontinuous rhyme, but thats ok.

    keep writing,

    Well done overall :)

    the only things are that some lines are one syllable short. try reading your poems outloud, once only, and if you stumble on saying a line, the flow is out. your readers will most likely only read it once, and if the poet has a hard time saying it, so too will the reader. :)

    also, i found it long and daunting before reading it. i think that you should create some stanzes, and gather ideas onto one line, instead of breaking them apart on two lines.

    they were my only real problems with it, and some of the lines were extremely effective. it has the potential to be some excellent writing if you just tweak it :)

    keep writing! :)
