Have You Ever

Have you ever felt the longing Coursing through your veins Have you ever felt the emptiness Driving you insane Have you ever felt the yearning Reducing you to tears Have you ever wondered why You've lived through all these years Do you ever feel the hunger For a life not your own Do you ever feel the emptiness Of being in this world alone Do you ever feel the sadness Crushing your tender heart Reducing you to madness Do you ever fall apart If you've ever wondered these If you've ever wanted to flee If you've ever felt your heart seize Then be assured that you know me And I do know thee

I have absolutely felt that longing and you describe it well. And I LOVED the last line; great clincher. Count me as a fan of your work (if I have not already said so). Kudos, and thanks for sharing your work with us :)

April, I really like this!!! But I think you could just stop before that last line!! I think it adds another meaning to the poem that I am not sure goes with what you really are saying. Or maybe I just got that wrong. I think you poem is so rhythmical. What a great flow.

Yes I have in many ways. Felt all these things through out my days. A soulful journey, we all must travel. The trick is to never unravel. Your a kindred spirit and a brave heart. Your off and running to a great start.
