Reality Now

Every night for the last six months...

...nearing

 exhaustion

 heart

 racing,

 body

 covered 

in 

sweat,

I 

frantically 

try

 to

 reach 

you...

I run

 into 

consciousness

screaming

my

 heart 

pounding

bed

 soaking

 wet

I search

 desperately 

for you

in the darkness

but

 your 

not

 there

and you haven't been

for a very long time

-- this poem is like a whisper that echoes and bursts into tears...

[Riley]

sometimes...they never are there, especially when needed most. And i hate when I'm not there for them... when I know they must need me, even if it isn't when they need me most.

[AllyKat]

Really like this one.. about fits how Ive been feeling as of late..

[terry smith]

You and I have traveled in the same boat I am afraid, I am here to help if you feel yours is sinking.

[Willard Wells]

Very strong work. I can feel the anxiety and pain in the words. Well done.

[terry smith]

Thank you for reading!

[Terry O'Leary]

Intense...poignant... almost a nightmare to read it... in the good way...

[terry smith]

Thank you sir of the same sir name! :)

I could hear the heart thumping.. sad, but good news .. you have one :D

[terry smith]

my heart is bigger than my head i am afraid....

[~]

it is all for the best.. although the heart weighs but half a kilogram, and the brain about three times more.

[terry smith]

yes but my head has rocks in it I am afraid!! :)

[~]

rocks are good.. means the winds of persuasion have no power over you, or the big bad wolf will not blow you away :D

[terry smith]

my brain is my home and it's made of stone!! lololol :D

[terry smith]

speaking of wolves I am putting together a wolf story now...:)

[~]

oh my, do i always anticipate on time? :D

[terry smith]

actually I started it yesterday after reading about a wolfish grin.:)

then it must be good :D

[Indra Neil]

a dark and poignant write with intense imagery! the end lines add more power to this fine write! :)

[Joshua Carl Cruz]

was the layout intentional to the poem being about searching because the set up is perfect. leaves me hanging to pick back up in all the right spots making the feeling of desperate looking real. good yob ese!

[terry smith]

yes the layout was intended! thanks for the read my friend!

[Joshua Carl Cruz]
