These dead words
Written on paper
These soundless chords
Struck to not matter

These senseless thoughts
Fill the cobwebs of my mind
These ambitions I've sought
For the answers I didn't find

These tears cried
For what I've lost
These memories I've tried
To forget at all costs

These things fill my life forever more
And they are no longer enough
Because they aren't worth living for
But they are all I have left to love [comments] => 8 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Living for Nothing

These dead words
Written on paper
These soundless chords
Struck to not matter

These senseless thoughts
Fill the cobwebs of my mind
These ambitions I've sought
For the answers I didn't find

These tears cried
For what I've lost
These memories I've tried
To forget at all costs

These things fill my life forever more
And they are no longer enough
Because they aren't worth living for
But they are all I have left to love

Grasp what ever you can to hold the love in your heart...for once lost you will be on my path...seek the love hold it for its worth...never lose touch with that feeling.
Beatufiully written and with so much emotion...so vivid and clear...painting a very intense image...

good together, that reading it is a huge pleasure.
i liked the end of the second stanza a lot, and the
