#gone poems on Hello Poetry

unnamed Nov 2020

Let me start out by saying-
that I have absolutely nothing to say
Now maybe that should be a bad thing and,
don't get me wrong it most definitely is for poetry.
however-
not for everything else.
I don't have anything to say anymore
because I've said it all, all I want to, Needed to say.
and I can't seem to want to write because my writing is supposed to help me think and organize clumps of words

into lines

and lines
into stanzas
and stanzas into-
well,

poetry.

but its gone,
I asked myself where the magic went
and the only conclusion is
that the magic wasn't there to start,
my emotions were.
my fuel fracked and burned up
because the poetry helped me live.

and now I don't know how to live without it.

I'm addicted and can't even make my own cravings

Gone

If there was a distance to cross
I wouldn't take the step
I wouldn't start the journey
I couldn't even take a breathe
Couldn't say the words
and now you're gone.

:c

Your eyes tell

Your eyes tell me how you really feel
The once bright stars I used to see
Are now lost in your blue eyes sea
The glowing is gone
And I know
I will never have you
The way that I used to

Nostalgia

Lost to us were the
bright and sunny days in the 60s,
lazy afternoons & the pristine scent of grass after rain,
all that matters is invisible to our naked eye.

Time is the bottle
we cram memories with &
fleeting is our being ****** into an unprepared tomorrow,
drowning in the long-gone reverie of yesterday

Nostalgia is the sweet lie we murmured, the small
cloud of dust suspended in the air &
the smoke rings spiralled toward
a December night sky.

Forgotten dreams & present madness is a
scratched vinyl record stuck in the fissure of time;
crackling noise muffling our sighs —
Gone, they say, gone.

I'm feeling a bit weird recently, like I'm longing for something I have never experienced, missing old days before I was even born.
Old days old days, why are they always better than the present?

Last Parade

You told me
there was a certain beauty in the never-return —
cherries wither into whispers of smoke,
river shivers upon winter's stroke
sparrows mourn and sing and forget,
how we used to be strangers, lovers, then strangers again
deep in the darkness you stared at me, smiling
with a mouth of pearly teeth
crushing the piling blossoms underneath, saying
I better remember this fading fragrance, and
carry it to your grave,
for this is our last parade.

Wrote this in a haste, didn't think it's good enough

Gone.

I wonder where you go
When you are gone
All
I
Know
Is
That
You
Are
Not
Here

Where do you go?

Erased.

I would like to slip softly, kindly, into the abyss..
That sweet nothingness, which cradles all in darkness.

I wish to become part of it,
Letting that cold emptiness entwine itself, into my thoughts, smothering them into decay.

I seek to see no trace left, of this mortality I hold.
To let it drift away on oceans of black, eventually sinking sweetly beneath the tectonic plates.

Erased.

Life flip

Used to sleep to see your face
Now l sleep to forget you

Times change

Gone Home

As I sit here
In the same desk
Looking across
Only seeing you're gone.

Listening to this sad song
I can't help but want to hold you
But you're at home
Where I can't reach you
Wishing to make sure you're alright...

"Hold on,"
Friend, do I worry too much?
Do I care too much
That every inch of me aches when you're gone?
Even if only for the day
Knowing I'll probably see you tomorrow
I still wish to run in and hold you...

Friend of mine,
C,
I care so much
But what does that matter?

I'm trying to continue
Partially have
But still I care for you.

Is this friendship I feel
Or is it something stronger?

Either way
I care, I worry,
Because I'm only human.

something stronger = closest friend/sister (To clarify)
