Night Lament

yet, again, from/for the truths of others 'felt', within...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For some
Reason
You are with me
Oh, not, not here...
Still,
And I may be wrong
as I often am
I fear
You are, are
Hurting
Are you?
Thinking,
Remembering...
More?
As am I...
Remembering
More
And wanting
Wanting
Within-- as how so
Without--
You feel
And still blaming no one
But
Yourself.

Yes, that is the song one sings...
Have sung for so long, too long,
Forever...it seems.
God when does it stop!

Blaming no one
But
Oneself.
And accepting?
Only
This time, less easily...
This time, having to
Try harder
To pretend--
To pretend to be
As strong
To pretend
To forget

Forget just enough
So that
That flame within
Is not as red-hot
Searing
The soul
Scorching
The heart...

Scarred, from the start

Wanting what was
Wanted?/ Needing...
Something else?
You know!
Oh yes.
And
I know
All too well.

I see us
Wandering the
Burning chambers,
Raging with the winds,
Fleeing...
Seeking freedom
Along the shores
Of nowhere
And every
where...

Yes, there are
Many gulls
soaring round
The moon tonight,
Terns, eagles and
Ghostly winged
Creatures crying out
And longing to be
Set free...
Or,
More truthfully --
Longing
To be
Found.

Those are the best lines in the poem they control it in fact whilst the poem itself is very very good those lines themselves show that there is a passion behind your writing and if explored fully with a little nifty editing this poem could sing out with the same bliss that those lines themselves have. Namaste lovely work

Micah, this is a masterpiece, honestly I've never read anything that captures the very real raw emotions of the soulmate type of lost love as this does. Wanting the same yet never allowing it to burn that hot again. Awesome work.
