Nothing; Was, Is, Always

Nothing; Was, Is, Always

A Poem by Jon Cooper
"

Sad but true.

"

It's all a lie
Everything.
Plain and simple
I can't say I like it
but what say do I have in the matter...
They "love me"
    They "adore me"
 yet haven't tried to reach me
    won't keep in touch
 never just say "hi"
     it's all for nothing
All the "we love you"s
    and "you're so great"s
             fall short
  and on deaf ears
      when they same voices
  don't even call when everyone else
      is already invited
So.
   don't lie and and act like it's not true
                cause every group is the same
      The "hey buddy"s come in numbers
              when someone
    anyone
            everyone
   has a need to be fulfilled...
      but not until....not before
I
can't
be
left
to
die
like
this.
           I'm not the kind to be dependent
 ...but this is a rare occasion...
           my own blood has left my veins
       run off with some s**t
                  and left me to my own devices
         no one cares
 no one calls
             no one really gave an effort
      because what am I really worth?
              that's right
    nothing.
              not a call
      not a text
not a message
           not even a relayed message from someone else
nothing.
 
This is what I am to everyone I love
I am nothing
I will dissolve into
return to
and remain
nothing at all

This is a dark, raw, painful write that was really well written.
"I am nothing
I will dissolve into
return to
and remain
nothing at all"
Powerful words, really nice write you have here.

I dig your dark perceptions, and brute honest force within your words.

:[ I like this a lot. It is a great great poem. I just makes me sad because I know the feeling. And the subject.

Lets run off okay? Not like they'd notice anyway until they needed money. Or someone to do something for them. It sucks. But at least we have eachother right?

I really like the structure and raw feeling that emanates from this poem. There are a few "typos" (not so much spelling errors (e.g. "they" instead of "the), but those are infinitesimal compared to the poem itself. Good job!
