Love You Or Not

Poem

There was a time

when she was apart from me

Now I got no one, apart from her

She now flows through my arteries

I'm a part of her

She's a part of me

//

Hey, I know you love me

but honestly...

You've taken my feelings

Now I can't even smile, can't even feel

While tears in eyes, I can't even see

and can't even cry

Not afraid to die

You've taken my fear

Wonder how you haven't taken my life

And with this life, I don't know what to do

Hey depression, I love you too

Wow. Just wow. Ok. First, I’m sorry. This just makes me hurt with you. I feel this so deep. I understand this in my bones. And my heart. But I am resisting connecting it to truth. To history. I don’t wanna. I want to feel it for you, not for me. Not again. Second, notice how it’s a feeling I know. I have lived a similar story. But it is now in the past. It still bleeds. This poem poked at it. But life continues. Fascinating things happen. I breath and I beat. And I move forward into the future. My best advice is to just keep moving. Just one step at a time. Connect to yourself. The feet on the floor, the coffee on your tongue, the air in your lungs. Nothing stays still or is a solid thing. Not even this hurt. Try to remember it is not the beginning and end even if it’s all you see in the moment. The light and world is above you. You will see them again. I hope. I kinda love you too. Thank you for sharing. Know I took a little piece of this pain. And I hope you feel a little less weight of it.

Dude. Amazing. I've been so caught up in my own depression & feelings after a break up that this poem made me snap out of it. Made me think, I wonder if he feels this way?

Thank you for such a wonderful and sobering piece.

Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.
