Insistance

 

Why do you insist on,

Pushing me away?

What could I have done wrong,

To force you to act this way?

 

For this rock is rolling through life

Blackened, bruised

But keeps on movin’,

 

And will this darkness heed to light?

From dusk to dawn

The world’s stopped turning.

 

And here we go again,

For the countless time running,

Mind’s coming to an end,

But you just find that funny.

 

Where gone have the days,
When it was just you and me?
It’s all filling me with pain

Because for you, I can’t seem to be

 

But how have I been so blind?
Looked over, and passed by,

Did I fail the test of time?

You’re happiest to say good-bye…

 

Why do you insist on,

Pushing me away?

What could I have done wrong,

To force you to act this way?

 

For this rock is rolling through life

Blackened, bruised

But keeps on movin’,

 

And will this darkness heed to light?

From dusk to dawn

The world’s stopped turning.

Author's Note

This is the poem of my troubles. Whether it means exactly what is going on is a different story, because this poem seems rather harsh in comparison, but... I don't know. I've been saying those three words so much lately. I don't know. Because I don't. I know not of what the future holds, or even what the present contains, but I do know what the past held. My problem is, do I hold onto the past, hoping for it to return, (as I've been doing) orsimply accept the past as what it was, and acknowledge it may have no part in my future. :/ Except, in my world, it keeps turning. Too bad, because the time I feel I need isn't there... I'll add that finding a fitting image to this poem was nigh impossible. Oh well. It's good enough, and adds some extra symbolism. Take what you will.

I love the imagery of these lines. Life sure as heck isn't going to stop, or the difficulties that come with it. Sometimes you just have to keep rolling along.

I like that the repetition almost shows the confusion and maybe a little disbelief. Your poem is beautiful; I like the show of self doubt mixed with an introspective's view.

Another confusing A'sN, but I love the poem. It displays amazing emotion in a beautiful format, and the repition makes it an amazingly beautiful rendition. LUV IT!! in other words.

No one deserves to in pain. Emotionally or otherwise. I could feel the confusion and pain that you've displayed here. I hope that everything will come to a passing and allow you freedom.
