Free verse rehearse

I look at you

With feelings in my eyes

With longing in my heart

I look at you

And all I see is everything I can’t have

And everything that I will always want

You look back at me

With an emptiness--

So agonizing, so destructive

Obliterating every sliver of strength left in me

I feel myself floating

In a sea

With you on the shore

Drifting apart

While I’m wanting,

still wanting

So much more

There’s nothing left here

For me

Nothing to fight for

Nothing to gain

And just everything to lose

I feel myself drowning

In a sea

Full of my feelings

Gasping for air

But with your unpitying stare,

I’m sinking, now I’m sinking

to the depths of nowhere.

This is the very first free verse poem that I have ever written. It's ridiculously cheesy and sad and I know that soon enough I'm going to have to disown this. Hoho.

I just got back into writing poems. I stopped when I realized I made 65 love poems for just one person who doesn't even know how to appreciate the art of using words. But I'm over it so I'm here again. And I hope I could get on with doing this. The end.
