. Poem, by LittleMe, at My poetic side

if tears, chest pains and screams were words

i would have a million poems already

but every time i write

i erase

there's just not enough words to describe pain

feelings

as much as love is impossible to describe

so is sadness,

rage

and expecially,

expecially pain

all my poems are sad,

because all my good moments

i save them using my memory and

maybe

messages

they don't need anything more

but the sad moments are too sad to look back

so i can't save them with my memories

and too painful to watch, so i erase all messages

but a poem is a form of art

art will definitely keep my sad moments safe

but the poem just never comes out right

and it seems that art doesn't want my sad moments either

When I first started writing poems I was given the advice that you never write about an emotion you show the reader either through metaphor or actual images. So sadness, hope, love are all considered weak words and to be used most sparingly. Better to show than tell. Nicely written
