    Questions

    It’s time to ask you a few pointless questions
    Just sit; just listen and see
    See if it’s all worth saving me
    Here goes: All the things you said
    Which were true?
    What’s true still?
    Are you trying to let me go
    Or are you my really real?
    Are you okay with being the string that saves me
    Or are you the scissors that cut me free?
    Have you grown numb to my touch
    And deaf to my words
    Is everything the same but the eyes to the mask
    Or does this future not match our past?
    I know that you never asked to be here
    But I want to know if you’re here to stay
    Or by trying to hold on to you
    Am I only pushing you away?
    All I need to know is
    Can you hear me?
    Do you feel me?
    Might you be the one to heal me?
    Or did I hurt you?
    Do you fear me?
    Do you hate to even be near me?
    Do you still have no regrets
    Or am I what you’re trying to forget
    You I’ll never forget
    Why’d you have to find me?
    Everything was fine and fake before
    What am I saying?
    I love you for opening my door
    It’s just that I sometimes miss my hiding spot
    And I think you miss it, too
    But, see, I never would have loved life
    If I hadn’t first loved you
    And I know that what you see
    Isn’t always what you get with me
    How do I tell what’s my imagination
    From what’s really there?
    Are you really the one who’s different
    Or am I just waiting for you to walk away with your nail?
    Tell me, just how much do you really care?
    Because, let’s face it
    I’m addicted
    And I’m never gonna quit you
    Just give me my fix one last time
    And one more time after that
    I can’t quit you
    But I’m scared you’re quitting me
    Did you forget me?
    Forget how much I need you?
    Forget how at home I feel when I’m with you?
    Forget how much I miss you?
    And are you still counting on me?
    Do you still need me?
    Whatever happened to:
    I don’t know how I ever lived without you?
    Cuz I don’t know how I ever lived without you
    And I’m too scared to try to try
    All I want to know is this:
    Where is your heart?
    Where have you gone?
    Tell me now,
    Cuz I don’t really feel you
    Here
    Anymore
    Do you still feel me there?
    All I wanna do
    Is all I’ve ever done
    I wanna hold you tight
    And steal your pain away
    Am I wrong for feeling
    The way I feel?
    For feeling like you
    Are where I belong?
    Am I wrong here?
    If I am just tell me – I’ll walk away
    Leave you with a smile
    Behind which is everything
    Only you could ever understand
    What am I doing- I can’t give this to you
    Just damn it all to hell
    The only important question
    Has an answer you won’t tell.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
