Poems on Sadness - Blackout Poetry Notes

Unfulfilled Wish

In her dreams
time would stop
in a place of emptiness
of every unfulfilled wish,
and every unspoken word.

Everything hurt -
her heart, her head, her soul.

Our real self
is shut away beneath
false and petty language.

I have too much desire
unfulfilled.
I couldn't stand being a passing fancy...
and you weren't having any
of me.

Her heart
was struggling to smile,
if only I had not loved
the wrong guy.

This rosy mortal illusion
continued to be a consolation,
for I knew that we had
better purpose than this.

Maybe I am
not good enough,
that's the thought that haunts.

Some were magically attracted to men
selfish and blind to how
love truly felt.

Works written in passion
often try to hide
the full emotion and vulnerability.

For a fleeting instant
she flashed her hidden depths
concealed inside her,
and he saw
that distant look
as if she had lost something.
