Description S i l e n c e:
It's deafening.

I can hardly breathe:
The air is too thick from the tension.
{And the words we both refuse to speak}

There's no sound:
I can't even hear my own breathing.
{Are our hearts even beating?}

There are so many things I want to say,
But when I look at you,
The words die in my throat.
{You always did leave me speechless}

This is worse then any argument we could have ever had.
I'd rather have you yell at me,
Than have you not say anything at all.
{Am I not worth your words?}

I look at you;
Desperately.
{I'm searching for the you that said you'd always love me}

Your eyes are like nothing I've ever seen before.
I want nothing more then to drown myself in you,
And lose myself in your eyes.
{You're perfect to me, baby}

I.
  Hate.
           This.

This silence cuts me to the core,
And I bleed.
{But one can only bleed so much before their existence comes to an end}

I'm shaking;
But I open my mouth,
And inhale.
{Trying to form words I know will never come}

"I love you." I manage to murmur out,
"Love fades," is your reply.
"Not mine, not for you." I mean it too.
{I'll always love you}

I feel completely identified with the emotions. It feels like a plea for him to feel the same strong love she feels, but in a sweet way. There's fear and frustration too, mostly at the end. I like the way the emotions mix and show, but subtly...

Imho, this doesn't need the explanations at the end of each stanza, the poem stands of its own. Besides, sometimes it's better for the readers to get it by their own and sometimes the explanations kinda makes the poem to lose its magic. Just don't get me wrong, I love the formatting

I'm glad they all came through so strongly, but not in your face like. Haha.

Oh, you mean the "{}"'s?
Those aren't necessarily explanations, but after thoughts, or things I wanted to add, but might not have flowed correctly, so I add them underneath the stanza itself, as a small, little whisper of a feeling, emotion, or thought :3

Thank you for the lovely comment

Bravo!! I love it.

It makes me kind of sad, but in a bittersweet sort of way. I completely understand the words and the emotion behind them. They sort of send me down memory lane. It's easily relatable to. This poem has loads of feeling, and I definitely believe the formatting accents the beauty of this poem.

Amazing job!

I got that same feeling when I was writing it, it was rather heartbreaking, haha. I'm so glad that you can relate, I kinda feel accomplished when I hear that :3

Thank you, so, so much!

1. o.0 I LUV THIS POEM!!! Really, just one tiny little thing. Um, "And loose (<- lose) myself in your eyes." Dun blame me for being nitpicky *hides*
2. A feeling of loss. Sadness. Frustration. Regret? But strangely enough, its like the person speaking can't bring themself to be angry at the person they're talking about, so instead they blame the silence.
3. Love the formatting. Original, creative and the tiny brackets are just sooo awesome!

Spuffy12 In reply to Dark-McCloudy [2010-11-29 22:39:58 +0000 UTC]

I'll be sure to go fix that x3
I'm a terrible speller, spell-check is the one thing I need to survive, haha.
The strange thing is, I have no idea what the story behind this poem is, I just got the first two lines and before I knew it, there was a poem haha, so I can't really tell you much about the back story, but I think you may be right. :3
3.Thank you! :3

AnglaiseRox [2010-11-29 21:32:29 +0000 UTC]

It sounds like song lyrics, I can literally imagine this being sung.
Also, question 2: A sort of forlorn and very intense sadness. With a bitter sweet edge.
3: It definitely does, it's alot more interesting than just reading line after line...

Thank you so much for the feedback too, it helps a lot :3

1. maybe try to add alliteration or a teensy bit of rhyme somewhere, i dunno

2. sadness... passionate sadness.

3. it can be a bit detracting from the words, but it's pretty. the italicized speech is good.

I normally have a little, but it just didn't come out in this one, haha.
Yay :3 I got it to come across, I wasn't quite sure if I'd done that successfully or not.
Hmm, this is one thing that people are always in debate about hahahaha, I'm glad it at least looks good. :3

Thanks for the feedback ma'dear :3

Alluring-Sin [2010-11-29 05:17:53 +0000 UTC]

I really like the fist two lines n.n

The feeling... well, I actually got two: despair and defeat, but I'm not really good with feelings nnU

Yes, the format does help to get the feeling across, and it also shows you put on quite an effort when you write n.n
About the impovement, well I think it's 'mission acomplished' as long as you portray the feeling you want to, something you never fail at n.n

Spuffy12 In reply to Alluring-Sin [2010-11-29 21:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! :3
I wanted to make them have an impact :3
I'm glad the despair came through, thats one thing that the character I wrote this from was feeling the strongest, defeat was there too, so yay I got them both to show through, I consider this an accomplishment :3
Hahahaa, I'm glad you think so, dear! :3
Thank you for the feedback and the compliment :3
