Your vacant words burn my heart
What did I find?
Singed fibers of every strand
Titanic sinking in the sea
Constricted airways e'en expand
This cannot be
Seethed bones glow amber
What did I hear?
It incinerates my brain
scorches me
Consumes my heart with pain
This cannot be
Doting eyes decimate
What did I see?
Rational thoughts vaporize
jagged saw against my acorn tree
Laughing friends can’t hear my cries
This cannot be
Stunned mind takes refuge
in yesterday
A moment with you
in an instant
felicity returned my way
Life is good
No, life is great
No, Life is YOU
Jolted eyes open
to a naked truth
Focus on reality
vulgar and uncouth
This cannot be
You were just "lonely"
I was just "paranoid"
he was just "a friend"
every explanation, undone
life was good
no life was great
no life was you
no you are not
not, 'the one'

wow. lots of emotion and feeling in every word. very very deep. i love how in the beginning everything kinda ties to fire and all. the burning and such. great job!

This is awesome, really mysterious but nice.

this has such a sense of finality to it...as if you are truly coming to terms with a very traumatic issue in your life...writing can be so many things to so many people but it always seems to be about therapy to the writer...

I really like this passage the best:
"You were just 'lonely'
I was just "paranoid"
he was just "a friend"
I really get to know the character in this poem, and really understand why he is feeling the way he is. Great write
