An Undelivered Poem

A Poem by Colton Warr

I feel unsettled and missing

Like a nomad traveling through an unknown land

Nettled and Reminiscing 

I once knew every small texture of your hand

I feel confused and paranoid

Like a man who had just committed murder

Fused and Destroyed 

My mind does everything to preserve her 

I feel soulless and guilty

Like the Grim Reaper who comes to take 

Boneless and Filthy 

I am broken in ways I did not know I could break 

I feel stressed and disturbed 

Like a student before the final exam

Oppressed and Perturbed 

I think I have given you all that I am

*****

Could I ask?

Do you sometimes feel as if you’re going through the motions?

Drink from my flask

I beg to again be lost within your ocean

Could I touch?

Do you sometimes reach out for my face with your hand?

Your hearts clutch

Shackle me in, never again to disband 

Could I kiss?

Do you sometimes still gaze into nothing, wishing it was me?

I guess I miss,

Whenever you were the only thing I would ever see

Amazing poetry my friend. You brought me in and held me to the last words.
"Could I touch?
Do you sometimes reach out for my face with your hand?
Your hearts clutch
Shackle me in, never again to disband
Could I kiss?"
The above lines are amazing. I could write a complete poem from these words and emotion. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you so much, Coyote! I'm happy you enjoyed this poem! Your words are always so kind and encouraging, I deeply appreciate that! The emotion was strong in this one for me and these words cut deep. If you remember my poem "She is..." This is about the same girl, we are no longer together and it is from my doing. Even after all that she is still my muse though, isn't that interesting? Thanks for stopping by and giving this a read, my friend!

This poem is extremely well written, I love the repetition and metaphors you present in this piece.
This feels like two people are talking but there is only one person in the room, like Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You really captured human emotions here. Great poem!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, my friend! I appreciate the kind words and positive energy in this review! I love the Jekyll and Hyde take on this one! That is an interesting viewpoint! I'm happy you enjoyed this piece! Thanks for giving it a read!

I feel as if I could hear both voices in this piece. The guy being the first part and the girl being the second, responding to him. Sigh...so romantic and thoughtful. My heart just came alive! I'm sure it was a break up, but I also felt that she was dead...so perhaps the girl part could be her speaking to him through thoughts or something. Pardon my rant, but again, marvelous job!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much!! That is a very interesting take on this piece, I love it! I believe all poetry should be transparent to a degree. This allows the reader to let the words speak to them in a way they see fit. I love the way you took this! I'm happy I could make your heart come alive! I appreciate your kind words and I appreciate you giving this a read!

Your poetry is unpretensious and is raw and resonates Colton.
"Could I ask?
Do you sometimes feel as if you’re going through the motions?
Drink from my flask" - I actually wanted you to hand me the flask by the time I had read this section.

Some of the best damned writing on here. Thanks for the friend request :)

[Colton Warr]
