Another performance

That feeling when fighting becomes more of a chore than a reaction. Apathy at it's best

I look at your chest, rarely bare

Where I once felt excited

I feel nothing

Your soft lips graze mine, a hushed goodbye

Where my heart once raced

I feel nothing

I hear your slander, playful spite

Where I once took insult

I feel nothing

Do ghosts forget their face?

Do they forget who they are?

When you can't see your reflection

Do you feel nothing at all?

You tell me, pack. “Get out.”

Where my heart once broke

I feel nothing

One last glace, I come back

Where I once felt nothing

I feel something

I love you, I love you

We keep it going

Method acting this farce

That last bit, about method acting the farce of a false relationship, that's so bloody true about so many couples it's alarming. Nicely put.

I really loved reading this...it was simple but alluring! It makes my mind ponder on...great work! And thank you for reviewing my work, I look to become better and better...thank you!

Creates a sad-remorseful mood.

Best lines:
"I love you, I love you
We keep it going
Method acting this farce"

This is delightfully sad and honest at the same time. Is the feeling something a sense of fearing the loss of what was or what is still had? I am not sure, but I did like the poem's simplicity. I liked it overall as well.

Only torment begets those who continue a cycle of love that is based only on falsehoods. Your poetry captures the essence of the repeat performance type of acting very well.

very sad. it flows fairly well. the wording is simple but that's all it needs. doesn't need complexity. good job.
