Yearning

I killed myself when I wrote this poem, yet,

a part of me lives to read it.

With each word written the ink from the pen stains the

paper, as if staining is life's potential.

I have a spoiled taste in my mouth, with

liquor and anti depressants.

Liquor slowly numbs my throat.

The pills gives me my reason.

I sit with a friend, she asks with a

lack of interest; "How are you doing?"

I reply,"Fine", like always

you should know that.

Hours later but not fast enough;

I sit in my cornered room of my house,

confined within these four walls.

The stain of my blood is endless.

I laugh a little beforehand...

You see, it's funny, the bullet from my

revolver tasted better than life itself.

Wow Marmor! - I was expecting another love poem by the title. What a great write - the descriptive imagery allows the reader to feel like they're in the room. Awesome Job! :) Ken

Thanks! Yeah the title does sound like it can be about love - I think that's why I chose it because it was used differently plus it can deceive the reader to thinking that they are going to read about something else. lol Thanks for your comment.

Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to read it. I think a lot of us has possibly been in that moment of time or have felt that way one time or another in our life times.

Thank you so much for your comment. This poem was written 10 years ago when I was going through a depression. Thank God I am still here today to appreciate what life has given me.

A very graphic poem and life is to valuable for anyone to take it themselves. There is way to much to live for its so sad that the friend in this poem did not take the time to listen. Good message for someone out there to hear. God Bless BikemanRJ

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
