The tenor is Sorrow, and the vehicles used to describe sorrow are: an ache without a location, being empty and filling, loving and hating, thinking of and growing, living and dying.
You can apply your own meaning here, but to me, it means that sorrow is diabolical. Each line is contrasting, implying confusion. To me this makes perfect sense of how hopeless sorrow feels to a person. There seems to not be an answer because nothing is definite, there is contrast. It breaks my heart, but also gives enlightenment and understanding.
SORROW
It's an ache,
without a location.
It's empty,
but it fills me.
It loves me,
I hate it.
I think,
it grows.
It lives,
I die.
It's an ache,
without a location.
It's empty,
but it fills me.
It loves me,
I hate it.
I think,
it grows.
It lives,
I die.
Amber, I LOVE the poem, so sorry for your loss. Life is rough.
ReplyDeleteDepression is a horrible thing to deal with...I think your brother captured it perfectly and beautifully. This poem also describes the loss of a loved one. I'm sorry.
