Borderline

by Stan Livshin on Nov.02, 2009, under Poetry

i walk upon this borderline of nothing
the nothing that i felt since early days
please don’t forget that i was all alone
and nothing more i seek than you and
nothing more i seek than holding on to
something real and something to feel
and call my own and nothing can replace
this guilt of doing something wrong
of being left alone and being nothing
to no one and everything i didn’t want
to know so don’t remind me of what
i am so don’t remind me of what i am not
because i am not nothing i am not no one
i am not just someone that came along
i am not someone who randomly dropped by
the fire warmth i am someone who walks this life
of feeling nothing more and nothing less
of being nothing to no one i am the one that feels
i am nothing more than walking past of past this borderline
