Everything is silent; there isn’t any noise,
And even when it’s quiet I can hear your voice.
Saying that you love me; that you want me back,
All these thoughts about you; decide to just attack.
And so alone at home you invade my mind,
I hear you yelling; about the love I left behind.
I can’t do it without you; my will is wearing thin,
You’re just like a tattoo engraved onto my skin.
I wish that I can call you; without you I can’t live,
But sadly there is nothing left for me to give.
I pray this goes away; this pain that I do feel,
In silence and perhaps; I can begin to heal.

I have totally been there! This poem spoke to me and I could remember the pain i felt trying to get over someone. It can almost become an addiction where you are constantly thinking about that one person. You captured it very well. Great read!

This is perfectly written. I'm sure it speaks to most of us out there. I know it does for me. The pain of losing someone and still missing them greatly. I loved this poem, thank you for sharing it.

Definitely one of your better poems, the more that I read from you the more that I see you improving. I especially like the line about a tattoo being engraved onto your skin. Great work as always!

I love this poem. The author's style of writing really speaks to me, it's great! I can practically feel the pain and inner agony that the narrator is trying to convey- it's hard to find poems with that ability to really appeal to the reader's senses and emotions. Anyways, keep up the good work, Jaylisbeth!

This is like lyrics from the type of music I listen to, and that is mainly doom metal. The music is slow, almost funeral like, and the songs are about death, love, despair, and more dark themes that a person goes through in their lives. I love this type of music, and will introduce you to it if you like. This is one of your most haunting poems because of what I said previously, and it's beautiful in a darker way. This is one of my favourite poems by you, and I love it when you write about themes like this. It's like remembering the happy times, but they always remain distant. Beautiful work Lisbeth.

Oh wow, Dexter, I am humbly flattered. A lot of passion went out in this poem. Thank you.

It's in the times when we're alone with only our thoughts that those pesky thoughts come to us and the pain begins to mount again. Healing takes time. Unfortunately, we never know how much time.
Give it time, my dear. Stay strong. You have your own squad of cheerleaders here on Booksie! :) We're rooting for you!
