I found the tears
They were waiting for me
In the driver’s seat
On an empty street
Parked over the line
Where no one cared
Jill Phillips told me
“If we danced like this everyday”
But I cannot breathe
And just barely move
Enough to push it out
All of it out
This God-awful pain
But I don’t complain
I can be civil and sweet
Faceless and obsolete
I just wish that life
Could go away
Stop nursing me back to health
Just leave me here
To slip into the dark
In the car
With a guitar and a bleeding heart
Beneath blinking red lights
Can I come home tonight?
“I want to go home tonight”
I. Want. To. Go. Home.
But there is no reply

i feel the frustration…I really do.
Thank you. Thank you.
LOOOOVE.
🙂
Heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. I understand. And I am there everyday.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Thank you for caring
I want to go home too. But its that metaphorical expression of helplessness as if being held captive or as if home was taken by some horrendous disaster and is no longer accessible. Knocks the wind out of me. I wish it weren’t so.
Home has been taken away, it feels. I have often asked myself what I would change if I could or where I would go. I have no answer. My high level of motivation seems to have spilled out behind me somewhere and I feel like I don’t care about much anymore. Life just happens now, and I don’t feel the strength to fight for anything in particular. I just stay afloat as much as possible and hope eventually my strength will return
I hope that it does.
Time will tell, I suppose 🙂
I am sorry you ache
We all do at some point, do we not?
But thank you very much. I appreciate the care
Oh my, this is heartbreaking and so emotional. I hope this piece is only a means of creative expression…xx
I’m sure everything I put here is simply a small piece of my heart. It isn’t much, but it is my heart
I understand the pain and sadness to a certain point. I so often want to go home.
I’m sorry you feel the pain. Home will be there when the time comes. Thank you for sharing and expressing
Tragic, I can relate too often. A lovely painful piece. Thank you.
Thank you, jaded. Good to see you again
‘I just wish that life
Could go away
Stop nursing me back to health
Just leave me here
To slip into the dark’
Agony beautifully expressed.
Thank you. I didn’t have the strength to think of rhyming or flow on this one. I’m glad it reached you
When a verse touches the heart,where is the need for rhyming.God bless you.
That means a great deal to me. Thank you
So poignantly sad , beautifully written. It makes my heart bleed.
Thank you. Don’t allow it to bleed too long. It’s hard to recover 🙂
I feel the pain, the writing is so well done! It is a sad poem, but life is sad at times.
Indeed it is. Sometimes more often than not
Such a beautiful piece, VW. It is so poignant, yet I feel a river of love flowing beneath it.
Yes. There is perhaps no greater pain then that which broken love can bring. Thank you
A rather melancholy poem Vampire Weather
but when one is feeling down, the only way to
go is upwards and as the strength is returned,
so does the positive edge 🙂 Be well my friend

I can always visit your realm for smiles and creative inspiration when I am at the bottom 🙂
I think this is a pain expressed in ways that can be universally felt. great poem
Thank you, belladonna. I appreciate that. I wish people didn’t have to, but I’m glad you can relate
You conjure that feeling. Worse than hopelessness.
Yes. Yes indeed. Thank you for reading
Such a moving poem, from a place so deep and personal, I think I can really feel what you feel through this piece of writing…
Thank you. I’m sorry to make you feel it. I certainly didn’t intend to leverage my pain on you, but I appreciate that we can share it. Thank you
I can feel the pain and the longing in every lines, I feel it too in every step that I made in my daily lives… but as always we need to keep moving …. 🙂
That is what I’ve been told, and so I do. Thank you for sharing your feelings
you ripped pages from my life with this one.Thanks
You do that all the time for me, so it’s a fair trade 🙂
That means a lot. Thank you
I understand the pain of wanting to go home…But we have work yet to do. And you have the love in your heart to do it.
So very well written, my friend.
xx
I hope you are right, my friend
Very moving
