Where I Live

Poem By: Nixie
Poetry


This is an old poem I didn't ever plan on posting but I feel like I should post something while I'm working on my novel. It's sad but I hope you all like it! View table of contents...

You have come here,
Taken me as you wished.
Lifted me up into the light
And told me your secrets.
You gave me a reason,
A chance to breathe new life.
Only to crush me,
Only to drop me,
Only to leave me in the darkness
Where I now live.
Lost,
Lonely,
And heart broken

WOW/ That is a sad poem. But it is also a very powerful one too. I really like this, it shows such strong emotions and you didn't have to use long descriptive words. Bravo my friend. Excellent job. And good luck on the novel that you are working on. :) - Michael

Thanks Michael, I know it's terribly sad considering my usual (or maybe I'm more predictable than I thought). I think I have some catching up to do on your page, I will make my self a brew and get to it! Thanks for the lovely comment, as always. ~ Nixie

My goodness.
Have lived this and I HAVE SURVIVED!
So can you.
Big Smooooch.

Classy, I just LOVE hearing from you chicka! This one is old, it's one of those I've just had sitting in my portfolio. I survived, with the help of a friend! ;) Oh and I got a smooooch! *Grins* ~ Nixie

Hey Nixie! This is a very sad but yet so powerfull poem. It make you think and break your haert all at the same time...
Loved it! Thank you for the nice work.
Hope you felt better after this and know that every dark cloud has a silver lining... Weather it was because of a lover or just because of friend or just having a bad day always remember!!!!

Aw, you're a sweetheart Mel! Thankfully I'm well and turly over it, but your encouragement is very lifting. Always a silver linning - and how true! Thank you for always reading, you know I appreciate it! :) ~ Nixie

Hey Nixie, glad this is an old one - otherwise you may find me on your doorstep brandishind red wine and supportive vitriol. Can't wait to read your novel!

Red wine and supportive vitriol, yep that would have worked a treat and maybe my peotry wouldn't have been so sober? As for the novel... eeek! It's hard work! Always a pleasure O, thanks for the support. ~ Nixie

Nic, you know what - these sentiments are what were expressed by someone to me once, and I pooh-poohed his words, saying he was being too sentimental. Having read your poem, I suddenly feel as if I might have been too mean and harsh. Somehow the written words make so much more sense compared to the spoken ones. Gosh, the follies of youth... Nic, Nic, I don't know how you manage to say so much with such few words!

Aw, short and simple is all I know I think. I remember writing this in less than a few minutes and then I pushed it aside. I didn't care to post it I just wanted to express it and so I think it's great that it worked and came across like that. As for the sentiment, I think it depends who is saying those words. Maybe reading them indirectly makes it easier to appreciate? Who knows! I love your comments Urja, it makes it worth while! I can't thank you enough! ~ Nixie

Some of the most deep and provocative thought can so easily be written in the space of a few minutes. Maybe because the intensity of the emotion at that time is such that if you can grab a pen and a bit of paper and write it down, can make for a poem that comes out as fantastically as this, as opposed to something that has been studied at, poured over for hours analising and reanalising nipping here - tucking there.....

I'm rambling, ace one mate, always a pleasure to read. :-)

Aw, always a pleasure to have you read them! I think you're right, I was a spurt of intense emotion and I didn't question anything I wrote, it was just honest I think. Blah, glad if I don't ever feel like that again! Thanks again for reading, it means more than you know. ~ Nixie

I don't know what exactly to say about it , but to go ahead is the best way . I would say that this is not a good thing , but now i see that bad people , bad fellings , bad things , all bring a new chance to us improve ourselfs.

Couldn't have put it better myself Jbortti, I have no regrets! Thank you for reading, nice to have you back on Booksie! ~ Nixie

Sometimes the capturing of a simple moment, truth, and emotion, is enough to evoke so much more feeling and inspiration, than a page of well written lines; poignant and touching Nixie, capture the moment~well done, ~rain

Author Comment:

Thank you Rain! This was just a moment, I think writing is a way of getting it out sometimes, so its not something I took time working on I just threw the words down. It is what it is, I'm glad you liked it! ~ Nixie

Oooh, another sad one. Been there. The emotional rollercoster of love. Nice one, Nixie. Thanks for sharing.
