What if...

So,
What if it's to late by then,
What if it's no longer if but when,
What if when it happens,
I no longer care,
What if all I have by then,
Is a cold and empty stare?

That's a pretty good poem. Nothing less from a writer.

a reply to: Agartha

Exactly the point of the poem!

Thank you!

a reply to: TheDoctor46

Glad you liked it Doc!

Thanks for stopping buy!

Thought provoking, TrueBrit. You know I'm a fan of your poetry. However, I must insist, no cold, empty stare from you; you deserve better and frankly, I don't think I could stand to read those dead-visioned poems.

So, get on with it, man... You know I'm in your corner!

Thats why I wrote the poem AB.

Its like a little reminder to be pro-active. Not just a reminder to me now either, but anyone who reads the thing!

a reply to: TrueBrit

Straight to the point and definitely relatable.

Bravo Sir, Bravo!

How can I have a drinking problem? My avatar has been nursing that same glass of rum and coke since valentines day!

Hiya hunny!
Your poem sounds like the end of my last marriage.
I hope no one EVER pushes you to the point of apathy.
That 'cold and empty stare' usually has a lot of pain behind it.
My wish for you is a life of love and happiness...and a future poem whereby the last line denotes a 'warm and happy grin'.

Truebro - You know how moved I always am by your posts.

This time, I felt - not just moved - but Inspired!!

Inspired to compose my own verse in your honour sir!

So,
What if it's too late by then,
to make it to the loo in time,
What if when it happens,
I no longer care,
What if all I have by then,
Is a cold, wet, empty pair?

I thank you! (For the Inspiration!) LOL

Hey jacygirl!

This is one of the ways I prevent myself getting to that point, by getting it out on paper metaphysically speaking. Its either that or thousands of computer sprites will die. Hell, they might die anyway, but I like writing

a reply to: TrueBrit

I find it terribly coincidental that I chose to read this out of anything on your list to read.

How 7 lines can have such an impact is just astounding. I feel as if I could have written this myself as the lines seem to come straight from my own thoughts. But I believe anyone could relate to this poem and therein lies your success in writing it:-)
