Something I Can't Touch

I've forgotten how I'm supposed to feel

For all I've known is love

The joys of life has passed me by

It's you I'm thinking of

My food no longer tastes the same

Salted with my tears

My hopes and dreams begin to change

Then slowly disappears

I'm trapped in things that used to be

A shadow of my past

A future filled with you and me

That somehow didn't last

How could something so beautiful,

Fade away like mist?

How can love just come and go?

Never to be missed

How can something break my heart,

When it's something I can't touch?

How can something that feels so right.

Always hurt this much?

It is a really nicely written poem, especially the last four lines, awesome. How easily said what is sometimes just everything one feels. One of my favourite poems. :) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK..

..."How can something break my heart, When it's something I cannot touch?"... amazing. I felt the pain and loneliness while reading this. Not only do your works flow so fluently and beautifully, but the messages that they convey to the reader touches deeply to the core. You can see, these are truly heatfelt words.

Your writing is quite a gift..beautiful, melancholy, and painfully true

Beautiful, this is just beautiful, sad but amazing at the same time. Keep up the great work! And thank you for the kind reviews on my writing as well!

This is amazing!
It's beautiful. You create the perfect painful emptiness; a feeling I recognise.
Great work.
