only this time I want to really mean it.
I didn't expect to grow up old.
I only ever wanted to live in dreams,
and now I only dream of life.

I'm anxious in my apathy that time is running out
- what a waste of time.
A waste of space. A wasted face that I could never save.
These notes have grace, if only to fall.

You can see me on any given day,
down there in my ivory tower,
hollow though it may be.

You cannot breach the abyss between us.
And this - this abyss - it is mine. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Antzus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 2 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

You cannot breach the abyss between us.
And this - this abyss - it is mine.

Hah, the "someone" I refer to in the first line wasn't actually anyone specific - more just a general concept (someone; anyone). I think pretty much all my writings deal with abstractions and concepts, rather than specifics, though it's probably difficult to tell a lot of the time.
But thanku for the advice Mr. Goodwin Jr.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
