I feel more lonely when she's around
Than I do by myself
I can't make it make sense
And I can't put it on a shelf

It splits me in half and destroys both pieces
I can't answer why I stay
It's neither love nore is it fear
This is life in the gray

This is an incredibly thought-provoking poem. It perfectly encapsulates the complexities of a relationship that isn't quite working, but also isn't entirely broken.it explores the prosaic mundane of this world...it feels as if the world was fading and the colors were running out ...
I loved this poem allot!!!Bravo...i look forward to more of your works!!

There are people who have a negative energy that ducks the life out of anyone near . That is where the legends of the Vampire come from . They are the people who drain the life out of us .
