Hurting

HURTING I will be sure to erase, everything about you. Men come and go. I keep you a stranger by my side. A pair of shoes. I thought us out to be. I have been wrong before. The truth was revealed. Trying to be strong, I put it a side. Wrong once again. This being the only way I can survive. An unhappy person, you made out of me. Empty memories, no reason to go on and pretend. You are their physicly Mentally I blocked you out. Every moments we have. I still consider them lies. Avoiding reality. Drowning in my own stupidity. Keeping my self focus, on any one except for you. Writing to stay occupied. Dose not help at all. Every thing I write is bad about you. Hurting inside, I do not know what to do. Bestowing it upon myself. For not getting rid of you.. I.T. S.K.A.T.

This is a rather raw piece. Your feelings come through very well. Nice to see it featured so long after its first showing.

Here is one I saw before but I am surprised I had not viewed it long ago when it was first posted. I thought i had seen all the Skat series when first posted!

Hi SKAT, sadness long past I hope. Never blame yourself. Our hearts lead us in strange directions that our head sometimes doesn't follow.

oops, I can't soupmail you. why do I keep forgetting? haha. Ok, here is my question . I just entered your "best love poem" contest. Then I noticed that it had won in one of your "old love poem" contests from before, so I withdrew it and entered a different one. Do you prefer we find other old ones to send you like that? Or are you ok with us entering again with one that you already had in one of your contests? Just curious!! thanks!

It's so hard to keep seeing a face that you once held dear but now you revile. Your poetry has such a unique rhythm & you pick your words carefully. A beautifully wrote poem about a painful subject. Love, Matt <3

Hi Irma its hard, It' difficult and it's complicated,when it comes to the emotions of the human heart,In the beginning love can be so beautiful and we are so overwhelmed with joy and happiness because everything seems so right but as in many relationships after being together with someone for a very long time instead of growing together that's when couples tend to grow apart and that's when things get out of hand because we cant understand what went wrong,,I hope things work out for you.

What a way to release emotions through your pen. This was a sad yet deep write. I really enjoyed reading this, and being that I read your previous piece "Poetry", I now have a better understanding of your pen. Wonderful write!

Kinda sad to be involved with someone that you no longer admire and respect. I hope just a topic and not life. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my poem "The Questioner". Sara
