"Midnight Every Morning..."

This came after reading and "feeling" a poem by HelpMe

called "Missin' You".

Sometimes it seems

We aren't "allowed" -

to care anymore

- doesn't it?  But we do…

we always …do.

 

 

"Midnight Every Morning…"

 

 

Takin' back don't work,

no way in hell.

 

How do you take back -

looks,

shares,

just feeling  …right…

thoughts - those mind dreams

that just …happen all on their own.

My …no, our     now,

favorite song, flavor, movie,

place, time of day

scent

the FEEL of e v e r y t h i n g -

changed…

 

it’s all …changed.

 

How do you forget

knowing where you want to be

how you want to feel

wanting tomorrow …finally.

 

Dealing - yeah, with

- missing

- the hurting

- the anger

…the silence - when it’s so loud your heart

doesn't beat - just thuds

behind your eyes

over and over and over again

and the pressure builds and builds

til the hurt is alive and so filling

you're choking… and crying

…crying…

inside

where you don't let  - ANYONE -

see      or in.

 

Yeah, "I guess I'm still

…missing you."…          ***

is one real

…real

part… of being me.

this leaves me with a bittersweet smile, dealing with the loud,thudding silence . Funny how we can hear our human noise just sitting there - even when everything goes dark.
I'll deffinetly reread this.

[Chris]

You left a thought-full nose print on the Window's glass. Come by anytime

[michele vera]

This Poem was wonderful. The Pain Of Missing The One You Love is Beyond Words...I trult can Relate to the Whole Poem....I Loved this very much....We Can always Hope that Our Love Finds their Way back to Us.....That's what I am doing, I Remain in The Truest of Faith and Devotion.

[Aethereal]

I think that we must differentiate between the universal mood of love that we feel deep inside that has nothing to do with anyone from outside of ourselves, and the common instinctual addiction that social animals have for each other upon become familiar with each other. I feel the same way about my pets as I do people. When someone dies are goes away, it’s hard for me, but I get over it. Social addiction is a species survival trait because we don’t survive outside of being in groups, and those who did otherwise never passed their genes on to the next generation. Your poem seems to concern itself with grief.

[Chris]

It is about having the personal empathy with which we CAN share an understanding of others' emotional human-ness. "Been there, done that", means much more for some and really isn't a trite thought.

[Aethereal]

I know what moods others have because I have them too. There’s nothing trite about moods since our moods are us. All else is just memory, and logic. A computer has memory and logic, but it has no idea what a mood is. I think Consciousness itself is a mood, an overriding mood that has us being human. Consciousness reflects on itself, and this reflection is a God mood.

[Ana B.]

the hardest part is to let anyone in...don't know if i ever did.....but when you're alone with yourself, what do you really feel? maybe relief, maybe powerlessness, maybe strength.....
love dyour poem....beauty comes even in the darkest moments....

[Chris]

Our lives resonate with other's. Name's change but relationships remain as they always have ...breakable.

[Ana B.]

True. All that's left to be said is maybe life has nothing else to give...just these moments, which are worth it in my opinion....just remember that the darkest hour is right before the dawn :)

[Chris]

There is a reason for "truisms" - people believe them. I'ld like to hear more about your world.

[Ana B.]

I cannot deny that my world is not filled with darkness....and i'll never be able to define the healthy dose of it.....its twised, just like everybody elses.....

[Chris]

"Our world is only as full as our tomorrow allows. Perceptions of emptiness define hopes' lack. Pain is our way of dealing with ...life."

[Ana B.]

ouch.......seems you're very well acquinted with life's bitterness.....yet, feeling means living, even when these emotions is not what we hoped they could be......

[Chris]

actually am chuckling here ...it's been an "interesting" life

[Ana B.]

:D well, i'm very sure it still got miles to go no?

[jane kelley]

Chris, I can really feel the pain.. I've been there, done that, when my boyfriend died..
I really like this line......the silence - when it’s so loud your heart doesn't beat

[Chris]

That is where poetry touches...within our echoes.

[jane kelley]

now that is another great line for a poem !!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You have such an unique way of expressing thoughts on today's society and how it can effect or alter our feelings and emotions.

[Chris]

Dale, I appreciate you...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir, likewise.

[Frontier]

Yes we feel shy and innapropriate to share feelings sometimes...you have a very unique style of writing.

[Chris]

Poetry is an aural art form to me and I tend toward conversation. The visual cues are there to add reality and timing to the tones you hear. I hope that means you felt it worth your while to listen... It was nice of you to pause and speak up.

[Frontier]

Yes I can sense it, it does make it sound very realistic, like you capture the poetic in everyday conversation and put it on paper.
Yes it was worth my while, I enjoyed it. :)

[Chris]

I'm glad you paused... thank you

[Stephen]

I find only love in an every section of the poem because ...

- missing
- the hurting
- the anger
…the silence

All these happen in love and you`ve kindly expressed the few things/many things about love. It`s all ...you know what? About 'Drama' what occurs in love. Love always put people in such a world of 'Maze.'

Lovely poem!

[Chris]

I appreciate your pause and your thoughts

[KWP]

it comes within the gaps
the tiny gaps
of my thoughts
feelings
emotions
within the gaps
you are no longer there
you had never been there
with me in the gaps

somehow I feel
that after
finally letting you go
and suffering no longer

when once again
i feel the sweet air kiss my face

I shall meet you again
this time
within the gaps

and our love will finally understand the eternal truths
