Silence
Posted by DustinDec 2
Wrote this for My Ex… but I still like it, so…. yeah…
your breathing once filled me, its rise and its fall
that rhythm has left me, i cant hear its call
without you here by me, there’s just empty motion
the moments drift by without aim or intention
this night has no ending, the days have lost track
the lamplight is cold, its your warmth that i lack
still searching for meaning, there’s no resting place
the quiet is restless and fills in your space
lovers are empty without one another
only my thoughts of you keep me together
stumbling through life and its lingering dark
the silence here opens and pulls me apart
glimmers of you cannot last me out here
i need you, need every last inch of you near
you live in my thoughts, but that’s far away still
time echoes inside me but i’m never filled
your peace has gone cold and i am left searching
the dawn is a threat that is too long in coming
alone here again with the ache of my heart
the silence here opens and pulls me apart
without you this silence will tear me apart

This is a wonderful expression of heart and emotion, Brother. The style of writing you employ is outstanding, particularly in the words that you write. What you show here is that you felt especially tied to this person. Although you realize it, you were still hurting.
Thanks very much for sharing and I look forward to seeing your works in the future.

Excellent poem, Dustin. This type of writing takes a good deal of energy out of a person to write. Many of the writers here know this from personal experience. I am no exception. Pain may drive us at times and writing can help to harness that drive toward an understanding. Feeling alone and empty forever is no way to live. Sometimes writing can help to guide your mind toward the light, if nothing else.
Again, excellent and don’t hesitate to post more. Don’t worry that it takes a minute for people to respond, Dustin. We’re busy peoples! =) You can almost guarantee some sort of response from me on here at least. I’m the self-proclaimed “content monitor”, so I read and watch it all.
