One of my favorite poems



Untitled by Tony Scibella

excerpt:
..."i expect anybodys
that been together
for a while
fall into a semi-coma
and stay
and if nothing extraordinary happens
waking up somewhere
down the line
wondering what happened
to life
and the promise of love

and we were promised love
and happiness
that we were to attain
but no body explained how..."

I was 16 when I first read this, full of emotion and a strong yearning for both of those things: love and happiness. After 5 years, and admitting to briefly experiencing both and losing both intermittently at times i still find this poem to be one of my all time favorites. Something about it hits this very human nerve, it's something everyone can relate to it's a longing with no instruction book. what happened?
