poem--- it's part of me

And is this it?
Can this be all?
Silently screaming-
Torn in two

I need to wait-
Wait this out;
It's going to end;
Soon... right?

Just help me--
Just help.
Thats all.
All I really need

But now I look.
I look,
And I see-
It's all so very clear

I can't forget,
But I just-
just won't remember.
All that pain

It clings to me;
Burrowing in.
Inseparable.
It's part of me

Will there be...
A new arrival-
A new part-
My completion?

Pain must flee;
Flushed out-
Replaced
From now on

Love sits in
But will...
Will it stay?
(Please stay)

Yet there's more-
Love fights love;
for that part.
Can both be?

One from the past-
Yet I can't see
If it's wrong.
Or my future

And is this it?
Can this be all?
Silently screaming-
Torn in two...

phenomenal! the lack of rhyme is more than made up for by the deep choice of words and the meaning of the poem. the repetition also adds some depth. very nice joe!
