I never want to see you again
But I'll always remember your face
I don't want you to touch me
But I long for your embrace
I hate every thought about you
But I don't go a day without pain
I don't want to hear your voice
But I long to hear you say my name
I don't want you to call me
But I sit by the phone and wait
I know you have no love
But without your heart I fade
I don't want to cry
But I can't stop the tears
I don't like asking questions
But I must have answers
I don't want to lean on God
But I want answered prayers
I don't want to know what you wanted
But I have to have the knowledge
I can't go on anymore
But there is no way around it
I have wings and need to fly
But you're stirring up the wind
I followed you, through and through
But I am the one who is Haunted.

There is an incredible, deep pulsing thrust to this piece. It is addictive, almost. It instantly grasps the reader, or at least it did me, and keeps the reader enthralled throughout. Very well done, the contradictories really add a strong sense of agony and torment to the piece. It also makes it all the more relatable to me. The power and passion behind this is evident, a real insight; I could really feel the intensity of the poem. Very grasping, indeed. It definitely left me feeling very despairing and saddened; the torturous misery is presents. It is quite a sad, fraught piece. Very gripping and well done! Brilliant poem! It definitely leaves a mark.
