These empty seconds echo through me,
grown from pain like poisonous seedlings,
there to choke the life inside,
(There is no longing to survive)
So leave me dead inside my chest,
and let the thorns kill off the rest.

Twisting vines beneath my skin,
eradicate the joy within,
and suffocate the gift of feeling,
leaving death inside me, beating,
where my heart once used to be

...now just live echoes of me.

Sweets .. as I've said already, this is incredibly painful
and pain-FILLED~
(sadly .. I relate, as I'm sure many do)

My heart breaks .. such a feeling of helplessness and
hopelessness within the words .. it's excruciating!!

Your talent is stellar hun .. I just wish it was being exercised
with a happier write. Hopefully soon, your heart will sing
a sweeter tune .. and the days of sorrow will be a memory ..

*hugs you tightly tons*

Excellent composition had me spin in response:

The spatial abilities of the poet to undulate, map and feel their internal terrain radiates awe. Distance created from pain and constant reflection creates such canyons from which these echoes rally as death replaces all.

These words push the poets envelope. I sense and pray the development of wings sprouting to overcome any turmoils with wisdom and purpose as death is replaced with flight.
An honorary doctoral degree from the University of Hard Knocks is rippling upon these echoes.

Peace & Blessing

being broken
it hurts deeply
but bandaids help
and keep bacteria out.

im sorry your feeling down
and I hope you get lifted up!

Sis,
When you reach down and feel pain, you feel it with such depth and intenseness that it consumes all of you. I am happy to know that you can also rise above and feel great love and happiness in the same capacity.
I hope you get there soon.
Hugssssssss!

When I read your poetry, I feel epic pauses - so dramatic that I contemplate my own ability to express emotion.

You have always had this way of balancing dark or sad or pain and making it speak to the reader-yet the reader sways back and forth allowing you to balance and conclude.

I could give you many compliments, but you receive so many, that it would seem superficial for me to tell you that your pen brings forth the strongest amount of emotion that a writer (of any sort) can have. It is true nonetheless. It is.

Raw emotion, perfectly blended, velvety with images - to make you cry or just feel... Is something very powerful. You have that.

Echoes Of Me, is still resonating all the way inside me.
