Empty Bars (after a major breakdown)

AngelofIndifference

Faces pass in semi empty bars
I peer into semi empty glasses
Glass ½ full of feeling
Something left in the bottom for you
Something I can’t quite feel the bottom of
Something is left here for you
It’s something I can’t quite swallow… finish
A need
A want
I want you I
Don’t know why
Nothing but
madness could ensue here
And you know all of it
You and I
Nothing and
Yet…
Everything
Is the only thing that could
Ever explain us
Who?
Why?
It’s no matter
We just…
Were
And you knew it and I knew
It was like hands moving across the sky
Just pushing clouds away to make room
For more gray skies
I would have grown high
High enough to push them all down
Pull us higher
But we’ll never know
Never
Just the gray
That’s all we’re born to know
But you and empty bars,
You already knew that

I agreee, it is sad :( but good! I like how you presented it as well -- the way it drags you down the page as you read is very cool!

Thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it. I honestly didn't find out that I wrote this until a little while ago. I had a big breakdown about some things that are beyond my control one night after a bar and wrote 3 poems that I forgot about and found a few days later. I decided to post it all even if I thought parts were bad.
