what is this emotion
why has it come
what is it about
how long will it stay
what do you want
what are you looking for
where will you lodge
my heart is heavy enough
i want nothing you have
i need something you can't give
i have always been here
unknown under it all
you say you have been here all along
you say i can't give you what you seek
then why didn't i know you
and why are with me
you knew me all along
you didn't know where i came from
i've been here since before you knew me
i'm looking for something more then you
what is more then me
how could i know you and yet you be unknown
the weight in my heart is bad enough
can't you leave me alone
i'm here and you knew how i affected you
you feel the emptiness of my weight
you say there is no more room for me
i am the room in here
you are the room
you are the depth of my soul
you are the weight
you are my curse
must i live with you forever
you were born with me
you might die with me
you lift my weight for a brief moment
but i come back heavier and stronger
who are you
i am the only thing you can't get rid of by yourself

I really like this Eli. Your poetry is getting a lot more mature and thought out all the time. Keep writing.
me gusta mucho. and it didn't hurt this time kid. ;)
you leave an essence of dichotomy in your writing. there's an obvious portrayal of good and evil... but not so obvious is your opinion of which one is good and which one is evil.
