Dreamless

Something heavy resides in my chest
I believe a heart once occupied that space...
Gravity tugs at the laugh lines
Grim reminders that I never smile
anymore...
My hands once polished and graced in gold
Lie cracked and cold
abondoned...
Nothing left to hold
Ignorant youth smoohtered by time
heros failed
Curiosity killed
wishes wilted
Sleep is now my only blessing
My last prayer is that it is dreamless
empty...
Just like the rest of me

I saw this yesterday, when I was full of hope and smiles, and didn't know what to say. I seem to have aged quickly since then and dreamless sleep sounds beautiful. A powerful poem regardless

Yes, the feeling is indeed cold, where we try to find substitutes for the night like our pillows for comfort...maybe wet with tears...dreams do not appear when reality is either better than that, or hell of a lot worse...it will truly wreck you...but as Ainsof said, it will give you the space to grow...very cool write

embrace the emptiness... it may give you more room to grow, it may provide the space needed to move to be free... that's what I get from this, though the tone is too melancholy to warrant my interpretation; it's still the message I choose to take... time is brief, as indicated here, and the blessing and the prayer seem to suggest there is always the possibility of hope in the deepest of despair.

"I believe a heart once occupied that space.." I know how that feels, That is so good, the poem, not that I know how it feels other then I can connect with the poem. I think poems only have meaning to those whose feelings are similar. So much is set and setting with poetry...Golfers clap *clap*clap* ( wow that sounds like an std)
