reaching out; nothing there
calling for you; no answer
except the cold, forbidding silence
that envelopes me.
a sound echoes in my mind:
a whisper in the darkness of my soul.
your memory is beyond my grasp-
your features blurred, your smile vague…
do you hear my voice calling you,
crying out for you,
my screams tiny in the silence
like a whisper?
no bells peal in my world
no song plays its tune
no sounds form into words to pierce
this oppressive silence.
the solitude is overwhelming
and my hope for love has died
i lay in silent, wordless misery
alone.

You say your not all that great at poetry but I beg to differ. This was a great poem that was easy to read with no vague meanings to discipher. I liked this a lot and I’m reading more of your stuff. It felt like it could have gone on further into a story. It was a little scary too.
