You were Special
A poem I wrote a few months back, continuing to vent my own frustrations at the emotions I hide.
You were Special belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalYou were so special
Or maybe you still are
I can’t remember the difference
My mind hides when I think
It was not your looks,
Your touch or your voice.
The connection I felt seemed
so different to that
I could scream from the rooftops
How much that I loved you
But that word is corrupted
And correctly insufficient.
I didn’t just want a love,
I wanted a partner, a mate and a friend.
I wanted what I couldn’t have
An infant selfish within his world
In all I gained a friend,
One out of three is meant to be reasonable
Apathy should set in,
Before the true feelings override.
Did I love you? I know not.
I didn’t even get tht chance to think it.
Did I want you, Maybe yes.
But you were always loved by many
I could spend years analysing
All our conversations, looks and contacts.
Looking at all with futility
For ghosts, myths and legends.
I resolve myself occasionally
To break away from my feelings.
Like an addict testing
Cold turkey for a time.
Don’t pity me, don’t laugh at me
I am still, just a human.
As if that was an excuse
For life, for love and all misdeeds in between
A closed mind is hardest to unlock
You may find nothing new
Don’t die unloved,
Live.

Now that is a way to end a piece!
Don’t die unloved, Live.
The most scariest of feelings is to allow oneself to be overthrown by an emotion (especially love) yet you have made a statement that eases the phobia.
Even if it doesn’t work out….
To have lived is to have loved!
Well written Michman! :D

I really felt this; like waves of the sea pulling me closer and further from the shore. Well written.

I know I (and I suspect many) can identify with this. Very well written Michman!

I normally try to post after every 2 or so comments, but I’ve been a bit quiet on this one.
Thankyou all for your compliments, Its a personal piece and I’m glad people can identify with it.

Only thing worse then dying of a broken heart is to die with never taking it out of the wrapping. You have described up to earlier this year, then I took it out of the wrapping and started to live.
