the feeling is gone,
and yet it was never really there.
gentle sounds of a false memory.
oh, please do not falter my conception
for I am comfortably detached.
so pleasantly miserable in this loveless world.
remove this excessive noise from my space,
it's distressing my slumber.
turn off the lights please.

Wow, I can really feel the emotion here, even though the words are quite vague when it comes to clear direction. I like it! Thats a tactic I haven't quite mastered yet. Awesome job!

Awwww supposed to think you were in and out off love again...Well..."and yet it was never really there"....
This poem speaks of sadness as I read it, sometimes feelings can't be explained...sometimes you wanna believe something is there that isn't...
Hope the next time the feelings will be real,
just as mine are....
I loved it,

This is a great poem! It is really short, but it has such an amazing word choice and such great phrases that it packs a lot of emotion into it. I love the title because it is original and reflects the poem well. I also love how this has such a cynical tone to it and still keeps its meaning really well. The tone reminds me of the type of lyrics that bands such as Fall Out Boy, Paramore, The Academy Is..., and other Fueled By Ramen bands have. Great job and good luck in the contest!
