i am (not) alive

Contributed by simsalabim on Tuesday, 26th May 2009 @ 01:01:03 AM in AEST
Topic: InternetLove



i want what i am


i cant have

what you need

to survive

this

inexplicable curse

you found



it controls me



i am a puppet to

your diseased

plastic eye



this ruination of my life


this necessary humiliation


i must submit


to what i cannot fathom



or write or sing about


or know


or have known


that which i am blind to


i cannot feel you


you know me

now


i am the child

of never


bleeding before you

forever


and you bleed


for it


and it's the most beautiful

chaos i've ever caused



the hardest thing

for mankind to imagine


it cost me

nothing


only

the knowledge of

the air that i breathe

and the hole inside of us all


and there is nothing to be done

about it


now

like a spider

cringe and retreat

cry

for all is lost

and falling

apart


and only your greed is to blame


i am wandering

right through it

I was unsure of how good a topic of "internet love" could be but i was happily surprised. i enjoyed this poem very much, as well as your suberb use of analogies. Your feelings are also very well conveyed throughout.

Your,
Amicus

this is wonderful. at first i thought the use of a lot of spaces would create a choppy flow, but it worked for this. this isn't something you can skim through, and understand. (like most poems here.)

it was wonderful.
