Does anyone care?

 

I know how it feels,

this moon, this full moon

Pulling at me

like tides in this body

that is 98% water

Tearing at me,

staring at me

 

 

I know how you feel,

What is right?

What is wrong?

Your heart is pulled

this direction,

that heading

Which way to turn

 

 

 

Do they know how it feels?

to fall in love

Stretched to the limits,

wanting one…not wanting

Leaning forward,

falling back

reaching,

pushing away

 

 

Does anyone know how it feels?

 

 

Does anyone care?

I care... This touched my heart Will. You write with raw emotions, your words touch my heart each and every time, what a poem.

Thank you so very much Noodlehead-bumble. I am smiling from your visit.

Very very moving.
I could actually feel the anguish you are trying to portray.
Wonderful writing .
And the last part was just amazing.

Thank you for sharing.

Very moving poetry Will.
I think many can relate to this for sure.

But I'm going to put my hand up and say "I care!"
:D

Well … I do … for sure … a personal and effective write, WW.

Thank you Pryde. We'll have to sit down sometime over coffee and compare notes. I am thrilled you liked this one.

[Pryde Foltz]

I look forward to it, dear friend.

Yes, love is that emotion that draws and quarters you, blood everywhere and then laughs at your condition!!! I always liked those Clash lines "if I go it will be trouble, if I stay it will be double" or as Lydi has said below, dive in and takes your chances.. HA!! But it's the only way to know for sure... pushed/pulled, a small price to pay to be miserably in love.. ~~redzone

[willweb]

Thank you so much Redzone. That is a question I ask myself often, "Should I stay or should I go" I am thrilled you liked this one.

Your words just curl right up in my heart. I hope this is a muse and you don't feel this way....
Hugs, Julie

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Julie. I am happy you enjoyed this one. Sometimes a muse, sometimes not. But I am smiling from your visit.

[MsJewel]

If you are smiling then I'm smiling too!

sometimes we feel all alone...underappreciated, taken for granted...

we are there for others, but reciprocation doesn't happen...whom can we lean on?
we would think others might know how it feels...but i guess only the one in the situation really knows.

[willweb]

Thanks so much Jacob.

[Lyn Anderson]

This has layers to it, both the internal pull, and the desire to share with others. I think I have told you before, you do these type of introspective depression poems very well.

[willweb]

Thank you so much KLGoode. Your nice words have really touched me today. I am thrilled you liked this one.

[Lydia Shutter]

A lot of introspection in this one. These are questions we all ask ourselves at one time or another....but really there are no answers, are there? Which way to turn? The answer I would give is to jump in and let Madame Fate have her way with you! A poem so many will identify with. I liked it. Lydi**

[willweb]

Thanks so much Lydi. There are a lot of questions that come up in our lives and maybe your suggestion is best. I am happy you liked this one.

[MomzillaNC]

Isn't that what we all wonder? Are we the only ones ever to feel this way? Happily, when you do find true love, that's one area in life where the questions are answered definitively.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much for reading and commenting on my poem. I am thrilled you like this one.

Yes, you are correct, however at times there are still some unanswered questions remaining...even where true love is involved.

[MomzillaNC]

I've been fortunate enough to have that true love and to have no questions about any part of it. We've been married 23 years, come December, and we love each other more every passing year. I still have plenty of questions in my life. But, I have no qualms and no questions in our love.
