Bargaining Poem by Tina MacKay
Bargaining
I thought of you today
No, that is a lie
I thought of you from the moment I opened my eyes
Till the moment sleep relieved me
Relieved sleep soon became intolerable
Then I awoke
And you were still gone
Repetitive songs with enhanced meaning
Empty agony
Bargaining
Realisation dawning, undercurrent of acceptance
Denial
Pain, so much pain
Anger and a very deep sadness
I am changed
What will become of me?
Did you mean those tender words in the early hours?
The times we watched the sun rise
Enhanced senses
Morning fog
Sunlight and cobwebs
Solitude
Senses are dulled
Pain is exquisite
Bargaining, ever bargaining with myself
Anything to stop this agony
Self-pity is laughable
Like watching someone else
But it’s my play
And I have the leading role
wow.... amazing, I actually feel so sad after reading this. A great sign of a poem to see that there feelings evoked in the reader. T.S. Elliot said that genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. Though I do not and cannot understand this poem entirely I know what you are saying, paradoxically perhaps! Well done, keep writing please, I'll be back =]
