Distant Amity
by Shannon Jaime (Age: 19)
copyright 05-03-2003


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Tears burn fervently behind my eyes
And trickle down my face.
Ire and sorrow arise within--
I am all alone, out of place.

I wonder why you feign this charade,
Pretending you want to be my friend.
But you will never know, you will never see,
How my forsaken heart will not mend.

How I wish that I was not second best,
How I long for someone to know I am there.
Perhaps I would heal if I was not left behind,
If there was anyone to truly care.

I am sorry if I am such a nuisance to you
Or if my existence is in your way.
It is not as though you understand
When you ignore me and disregard what I say.

It hurts to be shunned like something unwanted,
When I am only being used.
Is there any real amity in this world?
The search has left me forlorn and confused.

Abandoned by those I thought were friends,
I drown in my tears, my loneliness, my pain.
Now a lost soul, at last I come to wonder:
Would it even matter if you never saw me again?

Wow...I started planning my comment halfway through, and by the end that original outline was dismissed. The last two lines summed my attention so well I was instantly compelled to reread it. It reminded me of a situation that I've experienced, especially when I linked everything together I enjoyed it even more. A line by a American singer Plumb from an otherwise mediocre song:

But I can't help but stop and think...
If the world stopped spinning,
And the end was beginning,
Would you even notice if I wasn't there?

Very beautiful piece. The only familiarity I felt was to a reality situation, which was a wonderful change. Great work!

This is so sorrowful. You have awesome talent! Poems like this don't just come out of nowhere!! ^-^

Shannon, your poem is expressive and conveys to the reader just what you're feeling. Wonderful write.

Yeah, I kinda figured that after I wrote it Christopher - but I think it doesn't sound too good in this poem anyway. :P Thanks for correcting me.

Actually "hotly" is an adverb and is real..=)
Well expressed anger here..and a good way to get it out of your head and into the open.

I love the emotion this poem conjures inside me. It's very dark and angry but it is real. Just a suggestion:
I don't think hotly is a word...maybe you could try something like: "Tears form, burning behind my eyes..."
Other than that it's quite wonderful!!
