What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
(erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel,
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something
I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
(Somewhere I Belong -- partial lyrics, by Linkin Park)

For that one and the music playlist by Sanaa at toads:
When There's Nowhere
What will I do
Where will I go
When will I know
Somewhere I belong
even though you've gone
My life is empty without you
I miss your touch and your feel
still I know
Somewhere I belong
Now that you're gone
and I've nothing left to own
nothing left of my feelings
feelings I had for you
But you're not here
and all I have to own
is in this little bottle
I'm taking contents now
And when I awake
there'll be another take
I don't know where it'll be
for sure you won't be
Goodbye now this world
Still even though I won't be
My remains here will be
but I will myself no longer be
You can cry for me now
I'm crying no more
Somewhere I belong
I'm finding it now
but not here ever more

'somewhere I belong even though you've gone' ~~ time for our dance.
ReplyDeleteA poem of suicide, kinda disturbing — unless Imam reading this wrong? Which I certainly hope I am.
ReplyDeleteThis is heart-wrenchingly beautiful, Jim. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt ❤️
ReplyDeletea lament of such sadness! A poem of fiction, (for you) I certainly hope! but true for so many...
ReplyDeleteThis is so true of the many around us. You described the pain of loss vividly.
ReplyDeleteSo much grief...I wish whoever feels so be blessed with loving friends.
ReplyDeleteYou make us see someone's despair so clearly. So sad to have no hope at all. I know this is fiction. You have written it well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad poem, very well done.
