I Want You to Miss Me
By: the iHope Poet
Well, it’s a good time to run away
There is nothing to miss if I have to stay
You can’t say goodbye if I don’t go
And then you’ll never know
Who you love the most
I still have a truce I need to call
I don’t like staring at an empty wall
I’ve hopes to gain some brief respite
So I say it’s your turn to want my light
Your indifference has left me for dead on the
floor
Now let me leave your heart regretfully sore
Then it will be clear that I’m worth so much
more
Than you give me credit for
Someday I’ll return refreshed and new
I hope then you’ll all love me good and true
That’s why I leave now, though it hurts a
great deal
You won’t ever long for my help while I’m
real
It’s better for now if I just go away
Please, say farewell as I turn my back now
And hopefully I will find myself allow
A way to stay with you somehow
A lot of palpable emotion in this poem, powerful stuff. One part in particular stood out to me: "Your indifference has left me for dead on the floor". That reminded me of something I read one time...the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought about getting published?
No and Yes. My friends think I should, I will wait for a while. (I don't want to)
ReplyDeleteI agree with indifference being the opposite of love, but I've never heard that before. It's understandable. Thank You for sharing that.
Also, could you tell me what I can change about any of my poems? I'm trying to revise...
ReplyDeleteI will if I see anything, but to be honest they're already on par with many of the best I've read. I like the emotion that your poetry evokes...and I also love the introspection that you use. You're gifted...
