Something Is Missing

Something Is Missing

There was beauty 
There was so much beauty in it all
And I perceived it so well 
And to my craft 
I'd grown fond 
But...
Oh what happened 
To that beautiful bond 
That like a sole ribbon 
Was cut from the flesh 
Brought to some threshold
Repeatedly threshed 
And me..I would watch it
Though never impressed 
Helpless to soothe 
All the worry and stress 
And I know they don't know 
Of the things that I speak 
Just hopeful 
That someone
Can move to the beat
And hear when I tell you 
Never to loose 
All that you are 
While singing the blues

Sometimes the words won't purge the pain, learn to bury it. If you let it, it will bury you.

I love this poem. The melancholy of the metaphors and the structure of the lines lend themselves excellently to the theme of blues! Great work, well done.
