Poetry Wednesday

Loss

I watch you in the moonlight
Your eyes fill up with tears
The emptiness speaks

There is nothing I can say
Words would only be hollow
Untimely sounds conjured

I wait for you to look at me
My heart pounds: it's too late
Finale rhythmic notes

Will I ever see you again
The door opens and shuts
Actions answering instantly

Emptiness

I watch you in the moonlight
Your eyes fill up with tears
The emptiness speaks

This is my own creation. I was just trying to capture that feeling when you know there is nothing that can be said to save a situation. That feeling you get when you know that you are going beyond the rescuing of a relationship.

I love playing with words and trying to make them say things between the lines to convey the emotions in the poem. (I don't know if that makes any sense!) In this case, I am really trying to make you feel the emptiness and loss that the person in the poem is feeling.

If you like my poetry, my other blog (Room to write) has more poems on it. I am going to be doing poetry every Wednesday.
