I cried myself to sleep
Last night
For the sake of Nostalgia.
And it felt oddly comforting to not be happy
and forget that you love me
and that you could take these tears away.

This is a very odd poem to me, but then again a very odd feeling, too, and i feel i just have to get this out. This didn't exactly happen, but it's just that i'm so used to being alone, well not entirely, but even in groups i'm often alone, even surrounded by people who love me, and to be not alone feels so weird. I haven't been in a relationship that's lasted more than two weeks in two years, and i've been in a lot of those two week ones, and it's just amazed me so much that this one has actually lasted, like in a very very very good way.

And in a way i feel a little weird in that i haven't been able to write recently, a side effect of me being perfectly happy without a need in the world lol. I have an outlet for that happiness and i just haven't needed poetry, which feels very odd as well.

But anyway, to the poem.

Cool...I can't say I totally get the feeling (almost, not quite) but that's part of what makes the poem so cool, that it shows something that people otherwise just wouldn't think about.

Ok, now we're screwing things up MY way.

Yeah, it is a very odd feling to begin with. Thanks so much for the favourite and the comment :)

I very much like this--I've been there a time or two. I've been trying to feature a poem in every journal I write this month, since it's National Poetry Month, and this was a lock for today's feature. Awesome piece! :aww: :hug:

Thanks for the comment :) I didn't know it was national poetry month. That's cool.

It's simply put, but I know exactly what you mean. There's a strange sort of satisfaction to get from wallowing in pseudo-depression, especially if you know you can cheer yourself up whenever you want. I think it's a great piece, and much as I would love to whinge about it, I'm afraid there's nothing I can pick on. :aww:

I do have a life! Plenty, in fact. I just took five last week and haven't disposed of them yet.

Thanks for the comment! It's nice to hear somebody else put that feeling into their own words:0
