I Had Felt You Skin To Skin Poem by Alexander Shaumyan

I Had Felt You Skin To Skin

Rating: 5.0


'No one here likes you,
Go away!
Get a clue!
Go back to your f*cking zoo
Or whatever it is you do'
-John Oszajca - I Hate You (My Friend)


I had felt you skin to skin
Through our days of love and hate
That had torn my heart within,
Leaving nothing on my plate.

I remember things I'd seen-
Your affection's noisy dream-
All the places where we'd been
Now are not what they had seemed.

So I cast this empty cup
Of the things that once felt right-
Of the things I'd given up,
That once gave me such delight.

Endless writings on the wall
Fade like some graffiti art-
What is art without a soul?
What is verse without a heart?

In this place where hopes died
I have found a new song,
Lifting me above the lies
Of a love that's all but gone.
