This Is Only For The Best

The emptiness is different this time,
Such a strange feeling emits from my heart
And I'm not sure I'll make it the whole night.

Plans we made, pains we shared,
All the times we said we cared.
Now this loneliness persists,
This is only for the best.

But shouldn't I be hurting more?
Something strikes my heart from time to time
But that isn't enough, is it?
Times before I've broken down,
Gone on emotional rampages
Blaming everyone, including ourselves.
But no, this time is different,
This is only for the best.

The end of an era, our lives, my happiness,
This is only for the best.

Author notes

The question when commenting thing was the same when I posted this as when I posted my last poem. Odd. I don't like that, I don't ask the same question all the time & I don't know if anyone does...

& No he didn't say "this is only for the best". He didn't say anything & I guess it's better that way. We didn't even break up, it's just no longer. I think my emotion is a pensive melancholy. To contradict my own first line, it's not empty. It's kind of nothing but a something-nothing. Now I'll let you critique

    This is very good. In some ways I can come to this emptiness. Although this emptiness isn't out of love, but out of pure boredom and wishing for something to do. It feels like I have a spherical need of something to buring a pit of nothing. No goals, wishes, and blalant nothingness. I just try to fill the pit with grains of sand and soil. But that won't fill it up. Just need something more concrete to make this person fill up with passion.

    Anywho, I like your poem Although it's sad, hopefully with a door closed another one opens up Take care and keep writing ^-^ *hugs*

    that does leave a soul in a bit of a void where nothing is clear, nothing is what we think it should be. it's hard to determine what is and what should be, how we feel, etc. endings like that are hard to process within. maybe it is for the best, and hopefully things will move on in a positive direction, and the nothing more will no longer nag at you. good job in expressing that. thank you for sharing.
