Feelings Poem by Concetta Salter

Feelings are so troublesome.
There always in the way.
Sadness caused by losing love.
A feeling that I hate.

Maybe if I felt some hope,
I wouldn’t mind to feel.
Pain is all I’m feeling though.
It’s so, so, hard to deal.

Feelings, how I wish you’d leave.
I do not wish to feel.
I’m asking you to let me be.
My sanity you steal.

every night you tear me up.
You make me feel his touch.
Every night my heart is crushed.
These feelings are to much.

Numbness, I would gladly take,
In place of all I feel.
You make it hard to ever shake,
His touch, that feels so real.

Feelings are like hungry sharks.
I’m swimming in their path.
I still can hear his slowing heart.
But mine will follow fast.

It’s hard to not feel feelings though.
At least while living life.
I’ll take this knife so sharp and cold.
No feelings will survive.
