#putdown - Hello Poetry

I’ll say your name and wait for your voice but the answers I get are silence and grief. Without you my heart will freeze to crystals of the deepest blue; for you painfully won this game of hide and seek. I’ve called the last and final, “where are you?” There will be no more now that you’ve gone somewhere I cannot reach. I will wait till the day that you and I once again meet. I’m sorry my fur baby. I’ll get through hopefully, if not barely.

I’m sorry

I’ll say your name and wait for your voice but the answers I get are silence and grief. Without you my heart will freeze to crystals of the deepest blue; for you painfully won this game of hide and seek. I’ve called the last and final, “where are you?” There will be no more now that you’ve gone somewhere I cannot reach. I will wait till the day that you and I once again meet. I’m sorry my fur baby. I’ll get through hopefully, if not barely.

Dragged and drawn... Out Tired and resisting sleep Eyes barely open, Mind barely present A cage is not a cage because of its bars Or the space that it provides Or the bed that it allows A cage is a cage because it Turns life pointless Holds life in its claws and Never lands Falling with no end Screaming in a vacuum Unheard Shackled to a life that disregards Your life Breathing never felt as it used to

How sad it is that you find it amusing to tease me And it's always the 1 thing you know is something I am so easily hurt by If you really cared you'd not bring it up Or better yet you'd find a way to help me So next time I hope you say nothing cause it may be your last I refuse to accept it not anymore © Jennifer L DeLong 🦏 10/18/21

Words have weight Cast a rude one at your mate And he is bound to hate Toss a kind word to elevate And he will elate Try it so you can relate If what I state Is true or inaccurate?

Words Have Weight

Words have weight Cast a rude one at your mate And he is bound to hate Toss a kind word to elevate And he will elate Try it so you can relate If what I state Is true or inaccurate?

Without the label of a teacher Nonetheless things are pointed out With care and diligence Comments meticulously exacting As though there is a sixth sense About what is detailed More than busy, attention is thorough Rigor seeps from every statement Oozing inside the listeners skull How much perseverance can Be understood while feeling Crushed beneath a microscope’s slide

"Go have a breakdown since that's all you're good at" He doesn't realise the weight his words have on me Words that cascade with force into my entire world Tunnel vision showing only him As a target Revenge is bittersweet Much like the black coffee, dark chocolate, and gin that I love In hindsight revenge never does cut it Because I never use a knife Instead my revenge is in the form of removal It makes no difference . Words That's all they are Yet they're as sharp as a double edged sword One side is jagged, the other smooth Both cut Deep Wounds left etched through my body Scars running like war paths over my entirety Does he gain pleasure by putting me down? Does making me feel worthless make him feel strong? Or am I simply a woman who hasn't evolved past the hindrance of emotion
