dead days in burgundy
i’m done with it
i’m done with it all
cannot put a name to it
cannot give it a home
i’m done with it
i’m done with you all
turns out i don’t need you
for tomorrow to come
can you live your best life
if you feel like you're not living at all?
oh i’m done with it
i am not a broken thing
just a bad fit
another spring won’t change it
summer heals me some
but i can’t quit
they keep me rolling on
no i won’t speak up
no i don’t have any questions
no i really really care about
what you guys are doing here
great work
i’ve always loved this industry
where do i see myself
in a hundred years?
i dream of lonely afternoons
with the sun uncaring
and clothes on the line
and the wind soft-hearted
and i’m not alone alone
diving down a bottle
seeing dead days
in burgundy
being perfectly
in love

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.
