Missing (Evanescence)
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
(chorus)
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
[chorus]
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Right...or should I say...Write
So much for my never having another contest vow! I know this isn't original and may not appeal to many, but it's presently quite appealing to me, so let me see what you've got for me?
Write whatever the words inspire you to write, be it that you are inspired by the whole song, a section of it (like the chorus, which is my favorite), interpret what it's saying, write a response to the message in it...whatever...can you make me feel as much as the song does? If you can, or want, or whatever, listen to the song if you haven't heard it, music really evokes emotion and can compliment the lyrics.
Give me some great, emotional pieces to read...please
Rules? You know the basics.
PLEASE PLEASE don't respond to my comments, or rate them or anything that will give away your identity, I want this strictly anonymous (therefore I will not be reading any poetry while this is going on...but I'll catch up later!) Judging is hard enough for me
Thank you sincerely for stopping by...

- Final notes: Thank you everyone for entering. I got exactly what I wanted from all of you. Please know, I'm not a huge fan of "judging" because I am no expert. I chose the winners based on the content of their write and how it affected me in my current state of emotions and as it appealed to the sentiment of the contest.
Truly they are all wonderful poems and I did enjoy them all! Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your writes with me, I really appreciate your help!
