Gone

Sighs, echoing through barren rooms

Not heard, but seen through fogged glass

They are not here, but say they are

Conjuring memories from the past

 

But no one is there in the room

With emptiness fading with flickering lights

And no one says that they would help you

To save you and fulfill the withering nights

 

And abandonment seems to echo around

Even though the hall outside is filled up with sound

Of voices ignorant, but trying to see

That they are reaching out with caring, but truly trying to flee

 

For, pretending is never really helping

As tears slowly run down your face

But no on is there, though they say they are

Inside your mind, of your humble disgrace

 

Because reaching hands jerk back when taken

Disgusted at the actual realization

Of nothing that would assist you

If anyone, anyone at all sees you

 

But now, you are nothing

Like shadows of memories lost from the present

Because people who once thought of more

Think nothing of you anymore

 

Though, deep inside the soul of shattered consciousness

The glue to place the pieces back together seems to disappear

Since nothing, as before, will help you anymore

Because they all have better things to do

But no one is there in the room With emptiness fading with flickering lights And no one says that they would help you To save you and fulfill the withering nights..... Jesus can save you. Not sure of your religion and I hope this isn't offensive but it's my truth. There's always hope but you have to first find it in yourself. At that point who cares if no one else is left. Hey! That rhymed (by accident). Good write!

Thanks! I was pretty....emotional, lets just say, when I wrote this, so it's a bit exaggerated. But I really appreciate the compliment!

Tough to hold back the tears when reading this one. I think I like it even better than the others, even if it is such a lonely, sad place you are describing. You've done very well. Thanks for sharing.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
