What do we need to
Mend this divide
To act as a seal
To these two independent lives
Subconscious whispers
Of what we think we deserve
Sentences only half heard
Driving us crazy
A taunting puzzle
It’s utterly absurd
We are constantly talking
Yet never saying a word
How can you lose someone
Right in front of you
Physical proximity
Can ring so hollow
Together in our loneness
We unwillingly wallow
Actors in our own silent movie
Overly dramatic gestures
Trying to compensate
For the inadequacies
As those continue to fester
Living breathing décor
For which nothing was paid
But which came with the highest price
Thank you for reading

curious though which of reenas pics you played off of for the #Poetics prompt @ Dverse?
Thank you very much. Actually I didn’t. Deverse has always welcomed the off topic so I thought I would post. I am glad you liked it.

My mistake and I apologize.

The rhythm and rhymes make this sound really good when spoken. Powerful moment recounted with hurt and sorrow. When two fall apart, it’s hard to see when or how it will get back together. All the pieces glued back. As you show, the hardest part is often just seeing what the pieces are and where.
Thank you for your comment. It is very insightful.

I Loved the whole poem, but especially the title: How can you lose someone. As, I wrote poetry (& read their) to someone from my past, for a few months, fell madly in LOVE, w/ them & I too, …lost them …still waiting…still searching…still hoping…
