Best Angstlonging Poems


Perish

Perish the thought 
For I can see
The loneliness in me
Silence to my mind 
Has brought
A longing to be free

Free from danger
Free from trust
Free from things I feel

Emancipate my soul
And banish all things real

Perish thoughts that torment me
And grind them down to dust
Redefine my tangled mind
And gather what I must

Gather feeling
Gather need
Gather all things real

Reimburse my empty heart
And allow my soul to heal

Night Visitor

Yes I'm afraid of the dark
because I've seen what lurks from within
I've seen its eyes at the edge of my bed in the night
felt it creeping and crawling over my skin
I've felt its pressure upon my chest
unable to breathe and paralysed through fear
unable to cry to my loved ones for help
as it whispers woefully in my ear
I've felt its longing to take my breath
silently sucking at my life and soul
I've felt my body slowly sinking through my bed
as its negativity takes its toll
I've seen its many different faces
but it always looks the same
I've been afraid of the dark ever since
the first time my night visitor came.

Premium Member Life's Longing For Itself

My body wants to get pregnant now
can I be pregnant and not know it yet

I wonder this as the sun dawns and sets
yeah, life is longing for itself

boy or girl
it doesn't matter

just a healthy one
to hold tight in mid August

oh, the angst
of the longing

a love child
in exchange for love

to nurture
to be a mother

to raise a child
I did it to get a baby out of it

secret's now
even Victoria Secret's could not tell...
