Array ( [sid] => 150167 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => i am (not) alive [time] => 2009-05-26 01:01:03 [hometext] => [bodytext] => i want what i am

i cant have

what you need

to survive

this

inexplicable curse

you found

it controls me

i am a puppet to

your diseased

plastic eye

this ruination of my life

this necessary humiliation

i must submit

to what i cannot fathom

or write or sing about

or know

or have known

that which i am blind to

i cannot feel you

you know me

now

i am the child

of never

bleeding before you

forever

and you bleed

for it

and it's the most beautiful

chaos i've ever caused

the hardest thing

for mankind to imagine

it cost me

nothing

only

the knowledge of

the air that i breathe

and the hole inside of us all

and there is nothing to be done

about it

now

like a spider

cringe and retreat

cry

for all is lost

and falling

apart

and only your greed is to blame

i am wandering

right through it

I was unsure of how good a topic of "internet love" could be but i was happily surprised. i enjoyed this poem very much, as well as your suberb use of analogies. Your feelings are also very well conveyed throughout.

Your,
Amicus

this is wonderful. at first i thought the use of a lot of spaces would create a choppy flow, but it worked for this. this isn't something you can skim through, and understand. (like most poems here.)

it was wonderful.
