Skat A Poet Free verse

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..

Scott Thirtyseven January 21, 2017 at 9:33 AM This is a rather raw piece. Your feelings come through very well. Nice to see it featured so long after its first showing.

Andrea Dietrich July 15, 2016 at 8:48 AM 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!

James Inman October 30, 2015 at 12:46 PM Hi SKAT, sadness long past I hope. Never blame yourself. Our hearts lead us in strange directions that our head sometimes doesn't follow.

Constance La France September 2, 2015 at 10:45 AM Skat, wonderfully penned and full of emotion, I feel your pain and thanks for liking my haiku ~~

Andrea Dietrich July 24, 2015 at 9:39 PM 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!

Andrea Dietrich July 24, 2015 at 9:36 PM soupmail for ya

Matthew Miles March 6, 2010 at 3:38 AM 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

Matthew Anish March 3, 2010 at 7:54 PM Relationships can be difficult and painful and you express that so well in this work. Sometimes things have to end. Thank you for your kind words on my poems. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Dean Masciarelli March 2, 2010 at 5:06 AM 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. Dean

Sara Lokken March 1, 2010 at 7:35 PM I am sorry for your pain.

Anonymous Norman March 1, 2010 at 11:44 AM Some awesome lines. peace be with you xx

Poetically Search Me February 28, 2010 at 9:39 PM 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!

Royal Trevino February 27, 2010 at 9:31 PM very strong and emotional write... Royal T.

Sara Kendrick February 27, 2010 at 6:26 PM 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
