Poetry Prompt #148 (Sept 7, 2011)
We were instructed to write a remix poem. I chose one of my own ... and am not sure how well I like it. But, here it is!
REMIX:
I Don't Need You
You call to me
I hear you, but choose to step away
You now look back at me
But I can see through you
Your eyes are still empty
Completely void
You offer no acceptable human emotion
Your arm extends
You offer your hand
I have awoken
No longer frightened of my dreams
What you offer is nothing I need
I sleep easy
as your demon now haunts you
I woke up
and reconfigured life
Yes, I left you.
That was real
And you realize how empty you are without me.
~HLM

Remixed from:
Empty Fool
I call your name
An echo answers
I look into your eyes
You don’t look back
You stare through me
Do you even see me?
Your vision is empty
I reach out
Your figure fades
Was I dreaming?
Were you ever there?
Your structure is empty.
A nightmare; is that what I am living?
Was your presence only a shadow filled with demon eyes?
Wake me up!
Wake me up from this nightmare!
No, I am not dreaming.
This was real.
Your soul is simply empty.
~HLM
