Need

Random

Postponed needs
Reality, it cuts through every dream
Every waking moment is blank
Vacant thoughts dance across wandering eyes
A silent consolation
I understand, I always do
The emptiness that has settled on me
The restlessness becoming the dreaded immobility
Of body as well as of thoughts
My memories are consumed
My hopes are exhausted
Sometimes I wish I didn't need you at all.

This is so powerful because I feel like it truly is being shared from your heart and soul.. I honor that in you because these feelings take us so deep that we sometimes wonder if we can ever escape the hold someone else has over us. I balance the good and the bad.. Is it worth it on those miserable days to hold on? or Is it time to move on and honor your spirit..your heart..xo Well written..x

Very strong, and very true.
I love the choice of words you used. "Reality kills" is my favorite phrase in this poem.
Because it's so very true.
I can personally relate to this poem completely. i love it.

I, too. Desire that are unwanted. Needs that are unneeded. But when one can no longer remember the without, keep the now within.

Strong, and heartfelt write. The reality of feeling alone when we need someone the most bites hard in this piece. Nicely done.

It is great pain to need someone and have something blocking our needs. Last line is the feeling most of feel in a life. Strong emotion in the powerful poem of thoughts and emotion.

Written in deep emotion that cuts to the bone, well written and expressed!

This felt like it was gutted straight from your soul and just thrown on paper. The wording is so simple and yet there is a certain power exuding from them...like they've been charged with the watts of emotion just pulsing through you....

I feel the exhaustion from the dilemma of how to move on from memories...how to continue with the dreaded change that oft comes with the influence of losing someone/something very dear to us... I feel that all so well and it's all thanks to your brilliant and raw phrasal!

Cheers! This was a memorable one!! :D
