A poem by me!

This is a poem that I found in my email...very romantic and mysterious. I wrote it back in 2012, and I still can't believe I wrote something this beautiful. I have grown as a writer, and I hope to have my works published someday. The only problem is that it seems that paper and ink is out of style these days. Oh well....here it goes:


This feeling of wondering what if?
Leaving those longings behind...
Wondering what if, what could have been.
You left something in me, that has never left.
Even though you did.
You disappeared as quickly as you came.
Where did you go? Where are you now?
Do you still want me in that way?
This behavior I'll admit, I seeked it out.
I seek out this feeling in utter darkness.
Now I was foolish...misguided and confused to many others.
But in these feelings, these lust, this needfulness, privately:
I feel no shame.
Now fear has consumed me...
And the world sees me, and knows my secrets.
I'm standing here, naked with words written across my chest,
my face, my shoulders...
Every inch of me.
Words that were meant for now one else to see.
The information I took in.
And the food I digest.
They can see it in me, besides me, written all over me.
Fear of them seeing naked bodies.


I don't know where I was when I wrote this, mentally, physically or spiritually, but I know that these words come from a void that I felt at the time. Maybe I was being overworked, underpaid, unappreciated, etc. I don't know...but I found it to beautiful, and I figured I should put it on my blog for everyone to see and read. Talk to you guys soon.
