Apathetic Empathy

When the nerves have died
What else is there to do
Except float on in the empty
Abyss?

Why does the skin not melt with the heat of the fire?
Why do the rivers on the face not dry up?
Never ending cycle of
Pain.

The darkness cloaks the dagger until it plunges deep,
Dragging across vital organs,
Tearing and ripping,
Flesh exposed.

Can the dead feel pain?
Do their hearts beat?
Do their brains function?
It seems so, yet not so –

Space

Like being lost without being found,
Like being locked in a dungeon,
Like falling from a great height,
Like a full stop.

You carry on regardless,
Through the never-ending,
Restless dreaming,
Turn and toss.

Following the gifted,
The special, the wonderful,
The ones who never know,
Why are they blind to sight?

Lead you into the night,
The moon shaded in,
The wind is screaming madness,
Please, God, let me in –

Equestrian Heart

Be still, oh galloping heart,
No running in the meadows,
No nibbling on the cool, sweet grass,
Be still, oh be still.

Rest in your stable now,
Sleep in eternal rest,
Dreaming of the other life,
The one without the dead.

No more the owner visits,
To tend to you needs,
No more money paid
For your upkeep.

Stop moving now, sleep fitfully,
Never stir again,
The blissful peace will welcome you,
To wake,
Never again.

Nice, very nice! I enjoyed all of them. Equestrian Heart was especially good

They read very nicely. But I don't really understand poetry well but wish I did.

Very well written. I really like "Apathetic Empathy". Is it about aspergers?
The title and some of the words sort of suggest that.

Equestrian Heart is definitely my favorite piece. Good work in all of them tho.

Thanks guys! None of them are about aspergers directly...although I don't always know when I write them, lol! But thanks for your comments anyway!

Just loved your poems! As already said here, they're all very well written. Particularly Apathetic Empathy is the one I liked most.
