You ask me a question,
And I try to answer.
My mouth opens but nothing is heard,
For I have lost my voice as well as my love.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this.
I guess I wasn't.
Hopefully I'll get around to revising it, but there isn't much to work with.

BREATHLESS!!
well done, capturing so much emotion (such as most can share) with but a few lines.

This thing is so old! I think it's horrible! I totally forgot about it! If you do go through my work the older it is the more horrible it is! There are a few exceptions.

I really like that poem.
-
I hope your voice has returned, and this poem seems evidence of it, good grasp of strong emotion and loss, clear and concise, good write. Thanks for reading and commenting on my work. Blessings....

Only four lines, that say so much and are so deep in meaning. Sounds as if this lost love has taken everything from you , including your speech. Sad state of affairs you are in. Like this background.
-
well, i am suprised to find a poem like this, since it is so brief and to the point. this can be a merit of the poem but i think it is too brief to elicit any desired response from the readers.... perhaps a little lengthening with a few metaphors and images will help.. but this is just my opinion which you may take or leave at your will....
-
lovely. to me, it's hesitant and succinct. Really, quite lovely!
-
Awwww that is a sad thought... I know what love loss feels like I used to not believe in love... I used to hate anything that represented love... Even like flowers and stuff... Well, love of family I had I guess but not 'boy girl' love as my mum puts it. Anyway well done really nice. Short but sweet... or not so sweet lol. All the best,

hey, i love 'em when they're short and sweet. its so fantastic to be minimalistic, because it leaves more open for the reader to dig through. by saying so little, you're leaving room for so much. and you put so much meaning into such a short space - all around props to you my friend, props indeed. rock on.

Short and Beautiful
Succint and to the point. But very well written. Descriptive of a person numbed and dazed from a staggering loss. Thank you for sharing
-
Its so funny how so many people can take such a short poem in so many ways. I loved it! Short and sweet and I also feel like this is me. Im just going through a stage of not wanting to love the one I love and Im kinda at a loss for words when I try to talk. Anyways, great write
-
creativity galore
This one made me think - short but long enough... well thought out! greetz, melo. -
This person cannot speak because his/her love is gone therefore there is no point in speaking to anyone who asks anything.
-
This is nice, a bit unclear i think, i'm not clear on what it is supposed to be saying.
Who is asking you a question?
Why can't you talk?
How did you lose your love?
Anyway

Bookmarking This
OMG! This is me right now. I have tried to open up to the person I love but person to person, I just can't! Instead I wrote him a letter and he hasn't called me in two days
... but we work together and I will be working with him the last hour of his shift, perhaps he will give me a letter or tell me how he felt about the letter (pray for me) ... but anyways, I know how this feels Honey and I know that no matter what, I have lost my heart to someone who won't accept my love ... this is tragically beautiful and I am bookmarking this because I can relate to it so well. I hope things get better for you Hun

Nice
This poem is short, sweet and to the point. Exactly what I feel right now I just can't say it to "HIM". -
Wow, you say so much in these few words. I think we have all felt this feeling at least once. It's a wretched, painful thing. Thank you for the kind words! Take care!

grreeeat like frosted flakes
i like this ............short sweet and simple ....i always end up rambling ....u get the point across with few words ...that is truly a great gift ....keep writing ...this is great work and easy to relate to .....i think it'd be interesting if u wrote a poem from the other person's point of view about your silence ....would be a great extension of ur writing -
Beautiful

good
I like this because its different but short. And it seems like it doesn't have to be longer. Good poem. -
:-( .... what a loss! and very smartly penned! congratz!

Try sign language. LOL Brief, but easy to relate to. Some pain even poets cannot put to pen, so they battle with loaded minds but empty mouths.
