Emile Pinet Poet Rictameter

Alone Absurd Adrift

Alone
devastated
by years of betrayal
my future feels like it's over.
Contemplating committing suicide
depression has me in its grip
weeping in solitude
suffering all
alone.

Absurd
to cry for love
and yet it feels so sad 
watching desire suddenly fade
and passion's burning flame flicker out.
For what is left is nothing more
than a fantasy dream,
fueled by the
absurd.

Adrift
clinging to hope
I'm floating aimlessly
on the fringes of time and space
searching for the other half of my soul.
And the sharp edge of rejection
slices through fantasy
setting feelings
adrift.

Laura Breidenthal May 13, 2015 at 10:20 PM I can feel the pain of this incredible poem. I know some of these feelings. The sentiments are so real to the reader, and you know how to put us into the piece. I love the lines:"I'm floating aimlessly on the fringes of time and space." and " depression has me in its grip weeping in solitude suffering all alone."...the despair is heavy. Incredible write! Always, Laura Emile Pinet May 14, 2015 at 7:59 AM Laura, you have brought a smile to my day with such praise, thank you very much. Emile.

Justin Bordner May 9, 2015 at 3:25 AM The feelings in this poem are acute in agony...its astounding how devastating love can be Emile, and you delivered love's darkness so directly to the heart. "And seek out the other half of my soul...setting feelings adrift." The pain in your poetry is profound, the desolation illuminating...J.A.B.
