Pointless Whisper

Izabella Brand

I’m in pain
I’m hurting and you won’t help
I don’t ask, even for what I need
I look at you and try to plead

 through my expression

But you don’t look or don’t care
These things begin to wear
Rough on my heart
Do you care?
No.
It’s my burden alone to bear
I will delete this before one of your eyes lies upon it
Another pointless whisper
Carried away by the wind

    Wow, this poem really captures the feelings of pain and disappointment in a relationship. The raw emotion and vulnerability come through beautifully. Your use of imagery with the wind carrying away the whispers is very effective.

    One improvement suggestion could be to add more specific details or examples to strengthen the emotional impact of the poem. This could help the reader connect even more with the speaker's experience. Keep up the great work and continue expressing your emotions through your writing!
