I've recently been experiencing feelings of loss that I don't feel like going into detail about...
I know it isn't considered 'macho' for guys to express their feelings in poetry, but piss on stereotypes - if you have any doubts as to my masculinity, I'd be glad to introduce you to my fist...
I've just recently begun writing poetry... I find it liberating... this is the first one I've ever posted publicly though. Enjoy.
We were as one, you and I
I wish you didn't have to go
But still our circumstances stand
And soon the tears begin to flow
If there was any way I could
keep you with me, then you know
You'd stay here with me forever
Instead of having to go
Oh how my heart is broken this day
I know that yours is too
I draw you close, one last time
and whisper "I love you"
And as I hold you in my arms
my eyes shut tight with pain
it's as if my very soul
from me begins to drain
I step back to get one last good look
of the love I held so dear
That I may never hold you again
Is now my greatest fear
I turn away and bury my hands
deep into my face
I begin to sob and weep
and my heart begins to race
It's time for you to go now
And I can feel within
An empty space: a part of me
Will never be whole again.
