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

Just That Archaic Poet Date: 8/26/2013 11:59:00 AM 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 :) Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/25/2013 3:51:00 PM 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.
