Gone

The content of their words
Could never reach my ears
And I am gone again

I listen well
Then fade away
And I am gone again

I cannot retain
I must reframe!
And I am gone again

I slowly fall
Into my void
And now, I am gone

    Deep

    This short work is really deep and open to all sorts of interpretations which is great because it's not static or frozen in it's metaphors. Interestingly I think this is about your life rather than just a muse to play with. Well done on your refrain and good sense to leave it as it is.

    Nice! Sounds like you're a ghost returning to visit your friends and loved ones, at least that's the way I see it, am I even close? Or it could be about falling asleep in class? Nice voice in this piece as well, this is what poetry is all about.

      In a sense, it is rather ghost-like. I have a very bad case of ADD. If someone bores me, its like they're talking to nothing, because I'm not really there mentally. I'm somewhere else. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for the comment!

      Thank you. A very accurate description of how my life at college is really. Yes, me and Farrah need to come and vamp it up!
