Amaurotic Thoughts

Amaurotic Thoughts

A Poem by Erica Marie

They think I can't see them, and in fact, I can't. Nobody talks to me. But that's okay, I make the room my enigma, and put the pieces of all these people together by myself. You don't need to see someone to know who they are. I hear the lies, I hear the secrets.I feel like I know them. I can hear a smile by the quick, sticky snap that wet gums make as it releases itself from the front teeth curving upwards, and I feel moist streaks of grief from my lifeless, useless eyes when melancholy vibes take over my body. I know they're here. I know I'm opening and closing my eyelids, the skin goes up and down but I still see dark. All dark. In a room full of people, hundreds maybe who knows, with colors and sunshine, and pictures and paintings surrounding the walls. 

I still only see dark.

Umm ... Yeah, sounds good. It`s kinda very thought-invoking, I`d say because some words which you created on my mind are or even can be compared to the reality. In this sinister life, yeah, people telling lies to every---body, no matter what and we kept believing on `em, again ... No matter what. It`s out loneliness which brings us what? "Amaurotic--Thoughts" .. Hey, I really like this write and if you get some time then you can try to write something big on it like for your beautiful novels write or anything else ....

I really love this concept and glad to read your new stuffs. By the way, I think, the spelling of your title`s "Amaurotic" ... if i`m not wrong. Am I right, Sweety?? ;)
