MIA

MIA

 

Would you miss me

If I disappeared tomorrow

 

Would there be enough memories

For you to convince yourself

I ever existed

 

Do you care enough

To notice something is missing

Someone

 

Would you regret

Some of the things you’ve told me

Some of the ways you’ve acted

 

Would you think about me

Wonder what I’m doing

How I am

Where I am

 

Would you come looking for me

Or would you forget

All about me

 

Would you miss me

If in a second

I would be gone

And you couldn’t reach me

Ever again

 

Would you miss me

The way I do you

 

Because I never miss you

The way you do me

I've answered this question a few times over the years hun...you mean the world to a lot of people and you would be devastatingly missed if you were no longer here...I'm not sure if it's addressed to anyone in particular but whenever I do read a poem of yours that has a lot of questions in it, I always think it's the same person...the last four lines really made me think, in fact, I'm still thinking about it...you sound confused...I've also lamented many times in the past over how much better you are at cheering me up than the other way around...but I'm here for anything you want to talk about, and always will be.

I was debating to put the last four lines actually. I had finished the poem, re read it, then added them.

You cheer me up in your own way. And I'm very grateful for that

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure my dear, I'm just glad I can help you in some way.

I think you should delete the last 2 lines. It was good as is. Sometimes too much is just that.

whenever I am done a poem, I never touch it again. It's kind of a rule of mine. Thanks for the review though!

[Karen666]

love it

This reminds me of my past relationships, specifically when they would end. I always struggled with blame placement. These words seem to be almost biographical. Great work!

The question that one never can really know the answer to.
but the best way to insure he misses you when apart
is to make every moment together unforgettable.

Nice poem. Trace

This one really spoke to me. It reached out and touched something inside. I've asked myself these questions over and over again. Sometimes I think I have the answers and then...I ask them again. On the flip side, I know someone in my life must ask themselves these questions as well...and...a part of me hates me for not being able to reassure them beyond a doubt that I do in fact miss them.

Very well written. This is definitely a favorite.

thank you so much. I know how you feel about knowing someone who feels this way as well. I appreciate your review :)

[Caradoc]

You're welcome.

Be well.

Yeah, you get much inspiration when you're feeling down, depressed, at least works for me. You released your sad emotions in this one. Even if it's painful, sad, emotional, intense, it's still kinda powerful, from heart. Wonderfully penned. Thanks for sharing. :D

[Horizons]

The poem's here filled with painful, some emotional questions... memories always make a us emotional and put us into the world of loneliness thinking something like that. I enjoyed this piece, you wrote it from the heart and it's believe me an interesting piece of art you've shared here. I liked this piece. Nicely penned.

haha thank you so much for reviewing!

[LuthienThalia]

I love it. I've felt like this many times, you've put it into words perfectly.

You know, I think we ll get this way, we have these feelings of will I be remembered or how will I be remembered. Speaking only for myself, I'm not sure I will be, but I can't let that stop me now...or can I. I did read Steve's comments below and it seems you are contemplating leaving the site? Mia = missing in action? Well, I have contemplated the same, recently for that fact but I am still here and after reading your poem, I am glad you are still here as well. The emotion in your piece was hard hitting and in your face. You do seem to have a gift at writing how you feel. You mention feeling down, sorry about that, but if it produces wonderful poetry like this then...

[Destinyxi]

It does mean missing in action and no I am not thinking about leaving this site haha. The poem was written about someone, not this site.

Thank you very much for reviewing and letting me know what you think :)

A interesting poem. I wondered often in my life. If someone from the past. Do I come into their thoughts? I have 40 years of photos. I remember places and people. Good questions brought to life in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
