Estranged

My fingertips are cold

in my palm.

Two, and why does it feel like one?

Under my dress, my legs are bare, trembling.

You liked this dress so much, remember?

You liked this kind that blew in the wind

and swirled when I spun.

Hold me,

I cry.

Hold me again.

I don’t know what to do with my tears.

Please, please, don’t leave,

why can’t I be

good enough?

Do you hear my heart beats because of you?

Do you remember what you told me?

When you

made me laugh, held my hand, named me?

Do you?

You say you don’t.

You

don’t

remember.

Remember, remember! Please, please,

or the tears on this night will last forever.

Hold me, hold me, like you wanted to,

like you told me you would, so many times. 

Did I ever tell you

that

I love you?

Did I ever tell you?

Don’t forget tonight, this night,

the night my tears meant nothing to you

and everything to me.

Author's Note

Hmm. I am best at writing sad stuff. It just comes to me. Perhaps it is because I it's what I know the best.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem is heartbreaking. It actually made me kind of angry. I was pretty well emotionally invested. You are a great writer to inspire that kind of emotion. I loved it, however disturbed I was. It sucks to have to witness this kind of scene and be helpless about it. You really did some incredible writing.

[Crow]

Beautifully written! I enjoy your writting, sad or not, it lets me experience the pieces of your life with so much emotion and feeling.

[GunMetal]

This is so very touching. As I read this, a melody came to me, like this could be spoken, or even sung, over a song. You are an excellent writer.

[Dawn Jones]

Am currently experiencing this emotion. It's devistating when someone you love with every fiber of your being leaves... they tell you they don't care or the wonderful line I got "I DO love you, I just don't want to BE with you"... and then they only contact you when they want something.

Well written and wonderfully expressive.

[Senseless whatever]

Really good write. Emotional from start to finish. You paint a fabulous picture looking/ feeling out from the minds eye.

[Patient Poet (Yos)]

If you didnt tell him you love him , you should ... always do , thats the best way to really know :) great poem , you probably do know to write sad ... that the best we all know I guess ... Yossi

[Bella-Marie]

Very very sad. I think everyone else has pretty much summed up how I feel... except I felt like I was there with you, even though there was hardly any sort of descriptive imagery (I hope you see what I mean).
Good work.
