Why? I ask...

April 14, 2013

Why I ask?
Do I hear your voice
when you are gone from my world.
Why I wonder?
Do I still try
to hold on to you.
I want you to leave,
every last memory.
To be gone. Zip.
Why I ask?
Do I forget the bad,
Remember the good,
And want you back.

For me I wrote this piece because my dad left us. It shows the want to have him come back yet the anger over him leaving.

Perfect job at showing emotion in few words.

Simply wonderful and fanstasic, many people overdo it with the big words and super long poems to try to show the emotion that they are conveying, but this poem shows that there is no need to do that.  You use simple words, but they hold a smaking load of deapth. I love it :)
