Forlorn
How to express nonexistent feelings,
I ponder...
...and ponder.
Yet I ponder too long,
And feelings have become no more than an idea,
Emotions, thrown into the maze of confusion.
True to my empty shell
I'm nothing I can't be,
Barely more than less without
Something more than me.
Incomplete, I'll stay a puzzle piece
Forlorn, another other amongst no ones.
Not just left to perish beside the other others,
But tried and burned,
Tired of trying to feel something more than nothing.

Something more than me.
Incomplete, I'll stay a puzzle piece
Forlorn, another other amongst no ones.
Not just left to perish beside the other others,
But tried and burned,
Tired of trying to feel something more than nothing.

More reflective than earlier pieces- it is good to see you writing about different moods

Thanks you for all your feedback and yes I'll try to vary the subject of my poems :)

I really like this. Many times I've gotten lost and confused in the process of trying to understand my own emotions.

"And feelings have become no more than an idea,

Very relateable, punchy and stylish word play.
Great write!
