the voicemail. || Spoken Word Poetry 

YOU GUYS!!! I've spent HOURS going through your comments and I wish i could respond to them all! I love hearing your stories and seeing that you guys can relate to this makes my heart full. I want you all to know that you are not alone! You are perfect in your own and i thank you all so much for listening to my poem(s) and commenting. It means so much to me to know that I'm helping people. You are all amazing. Stay positive!!!

When you're happy, you listen. When you're sad, You relate.

“maybe you weren’t the one for me But deep down I wanted you to be.”

"But that's not my place anymore so I can't ask....." "After a month and a half i found myself calling you memory and i never wanted that cause I wanted us to last you know?" This hits so fuckin' hardd!!

We accept the love we think we deserve. That’s why we stay in crappy relationships. Weather it be mental physical or emotional abuse. We stay because we think that’s what we deserve

it’s sad how people experience heartbreak at such a young age

Feed a dog for 3 days he'll remember you for 3 years .Feed a human for 3 years he'll forget you in 3 days...thats the difference

i just got out of a toxic relationship, and just seeing the picture “because i meant literally nothing to you” made me click to anyone going thru a toxic breakup/relationship or just heartbreak, i definitely know how it feels and i am so very sorry that you are going/went thru this/that. i wish the best for u all

"I am still full of questions" even after 15 years... Yes, you read that right... I haven't healed in the last 15 years. I don't know what I go through whenever I watch this video... But I cry so badly no matter how many times I watch this. I come from a place where the words love and break-up can't even be uttered in a family. Now to see someone express this is so healing. Thank you for this 🙏🏼

Some people think that heartbreak is only with couples but it can also be with family and friends...

"You needed a reason to hate me, so you can shut me out" that hit hard

Hey everyone, I can't even begin to express how much this voicemail spoken word poetry resonates with me as a guy. It's incredible how it captures so many emotions and thoughts that are close to my heart, and I've always wondered if others experience the same feelings. The outpouring of support and shared stories in this comment section is overwhelming and inspiring. We're all in this together, and it's amazing to see how we can all connect through our shared experiences. The part of the poem where it says "because something like what we had doesn't just crash and burn after somebody's mistake. You're supposed to grow," really hit home for me too. It reminds me of my own experiences with love and loss, how relationships can be so fragile, and how we are left with so many unanswered questions when they end. I've been in a similar situation where I gave my all to someone and ended up with major trust issues, wondering if I'll ever get over them. This poem is a reminder that we're not alone in our struggles. Reading through your stories, I can't help but feel a deep connection with so many of you. The pain of losing friends and loved ones, the heartache that comes with it, and the uncertainty of whether we'll ever truly move on are all feelings that I can relate to. Your vulnerability and courage in sharing your experiences are truly inspiring. It's heartwarming to see how this poem has inspired so many of you to share your own poems and creative expressions. From autumn memories to the agonizing pain of lost friendships, each one of you has shared a piece of your heart, and I am grateful for that. Keep writing, sharing, and supporting one another, because together we can heal and grow. Lastly, I want to thank you all for creating such a supportive and understanding community. Your words have made a difference in my life, and I'm sure they have touched countless others as well. Stay strong, keep moving forward, and know that you are not alone. Sending love and positive vibes to each and every one of you. 💙✨🌟 #Grateful #Community #HealingTogether #StrongerTogether #SpokenWordPoetry #Voicemail #NotAlone #StayPositive #TrustIssues #Heartache #UnansweredQuestions #LostFriendships #BrokenHearts #SelfLove #HighschoolSweetheart #Growth #Connection #SharedStories

It felt so heart warming after hearing this. this almost happens to everyone right! You can loose your bestfriend or lover or anyone as a matter of fact and it just hits right at the spot.

"That's not my place anymore, so i can't ask" That hit me hard.

Being on a call with someone everyday for hours is destructive Because one day it will just stop and you’ll be looking at your phone waiting...

three year skate i know but just last year this is the exact voicemail i would have sent to a whole friend group. Thank you for this, it's given some peace of mind.

thanks for this, it somehow perfectly encapsulates my feelings at the moment whilst it's not good for anyone to go through this, it's good to know that it's not just you suffering, and that it's just a part of being human that everyone goes through

When she said “you needed a reason to hate me so you could shut me out” I felt that

it’s crazy how we all have that one person we’d say this to.

The worst experience someone can have. To feel something for some one at a level that He or She doesn't even understand each other then something can happen in your say they really didn't understand how the other one felt

This is therapy for so many wishing they had the courage to make that move Or for the ones wishing they'd receive this

“Did you actually care about me or was it just a game?” I felt that🥺😢

“I should just let you go, right?” “I meant literally nothing to you”

This inspired me to write poetry again and to let out all my feelings! Thank you 💛

This is so much that I’ve wanted to say to my “friend” for so long now after they betrayed me, lied about me and turned all my other friends against me. Even after all they did to me tho I can never find it in me to hate them like I should. It sounds bad to call yourself a thing like kind cuz it sounds like you’re pushing it to make everyone else think you’re kind when actually you’re not, but deep down I believe I’m actually a kind person or at least I try to be. So I won’t, I won’t say anything to them, I’ll let them live out their perfect world without me. That’s the kindest thing to do

" They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone Truth is you knew exactly what you had, you just never thought you'd lose it "

I gave him the love I couldn’t give to myself and he threw it.

This really reminds of that one relationship that completely broke me i developed so many issues. At some point i was so weak and trauma bonded to that person but now that I'm learning more about psychology and myself, im healing and growing and i absolutely love myself❤️

How to kill someone..? Fill them with love and then leave.

just because you aren't in a romantic relationship with someone anymore doesn't mean you can't still care about their feelings

Heartbreak is something that no one ever....considers. People break hearts just as fast as people die. But the hardship we have to go through is what hurts.

``did you even care about me``this part is so real

*Do you ever wonder about me?* *like..* *I wonder about you?* I always think like that when I see him

Judging by the comments, sounds we're all living this with different people

"but that's not my place anymore, so i cant ask." That hit me so hard..

this gives me motivation to focus more on myself, i mean i’ll still have my friends but like it motivates me to actually start trying to love and care for myself. thank you so much for this little push, it really means a lot to me

“After a month and a half, I started calling you a memory” That shit hurt in the heart area.

the saddest part about this is that RU-vid is reccommending me it

I’ll always remember him as my highschool sweetheart I never thought it was possible to love someone this deeply I’m so grateful I’ve gotten to meet and experienced the love I felt with him. It made me love myself so much, it built this big wall between me and any other guy that isn’t him. I’m so okay with being alone. I love this listen to it all the time. All my tears could make a river. We could’ve been so perfect. I felt like I’ve found my soulmate in him my twin my reason to keep going when life gets so hard. My motivation. It sucks that all of the best of me I have to him it wasn’t enough . I’ll never love another man like I loved him. Everything hurts so bad. Everything he does and tells me. I’m so heartbroken 😔 no drug or therapy will never fix this pain I feel inside

i think about them first thing in the morning, during the day, before going to bed, this feeling of longing, this feeling of not being loved back by a person u love, this undying feeling of being wanted won't leave me, i never wanted anything like i wanted you i hope u realise it one day good luck in life i really meant it when i said I love you and i only said it bc i knew it was probably our last time talking to eachother, i knew it was the last time i will ever hear your voice

Crying is how your heart speaks, when your lips can't explain the pain you feel

We all have a person in our mind listening to this

This is how you sound after a narcissistic abuse. You have no clue how the one who said “love you so much” one day, the next day can throw you away with cold heart. 😔Heal soon!🙏🏼

“i wonder if you’re alright. cause the last time we spoke, you didn’t seem alright. but that’s not my place anymore so, i can’t ask.” *i miss my best friend so much.*

it’s sad when you’ve sent a voicemail like this and they never replied

Thank you so much for this. It hurts loving someone who doesn’t love you back or even remember you

This is literally how I felt for all these years. Thank you

I'm in tears honestly. I'm stunned by how this hit.

“Because I meant literally nothing to you” felt that.

I felt this because that's what I'm going through rn but in everything I've taught myself one thing people will be there for you only when it's beneficial to them. Thou it's okay I believe and know that I'll be okay. I'm healing mentally, physically and emotionally. Sending love to everyone going through the same thing and to those who haven't healed from things they don't speak about ❤

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The best Poetry can pull water from any soul. Beautiful.

"Do you ever wonder about me, like.. The way I wonder about you?" We all relate to this way too much.

I felt this so hard.

Wowza. So true. For someone to leave and act like you never happened, like you should just be over it immediately is another level of pain. I felt seen by this 😭

After listening to this I can hear the amount of emotion and time it probably took. I can relate to this in my head like envisioning an image even if I never experienced it in reality. Yet again it makes me think about my past friendships with people. I would probably never have the exact guts to do this but this has made me think.

“this is for rachel...”

who else cried during this because they related so much?💔

I'm speechless...... That had me in tears...... It's so relatable because sometimes the mistakes we make ourselves we can't fix, even though we wish we could turn back the hands of time, it's just not possible.

I've been watching this for years now, it makes me cry almost every time I listen to it I do this for my ex all the time. I still love her with all my heart and I have so many questions, I wonder if she ever thinks about me the way I think about her. I know I should let her go, I know she shouldn't mean as much to me as she does. I made so many mistakes I know I'm not perfect but I tried so damn hard with her because if you love someone your supposed to push yourself to be the best for them right? I did and it all ended..it changed me so much but it changed her to I'm a sensitive subject to her we talked sometimes but I never got to tell her those three simple words...I love you...

It's been almost 4 years, I keep coming back to this. It's crazy how we all have that one person that we cannot say no to.

rly hits different when you think about your ex bestfriend

I remember watching this video in 2019 thinking it was a fantasy and something that only happens in the movies... but I've grown up now and I realise how true this is and the fact that people actually go through stuff like this, rewatching this video just hurt my heart deep down and now I cant get it off loop...

I don't think I've ever legitimately cried during a RU-vid video until I listened to this. I cried so much I couldn't cry anymore, and all that was left in my heart was an empty sadness that came in the form of a voicemail.

Its 1:12 am and I'm crying so hard.

“I wanted our future”, that line broke me 😭

It's open the wound in my heart.. girl every word you said I felt it .. I can't even explain how much breaking inside i m !! I m FREAKING RELATED TO EVERY WORD YOU SAID.. 🙂

this was so relatable. I can't even begin to explain how this broke me

my heart is literally breaking into pieces slowly. it’s crazy how you can spend months and years together in love and it all falls apart in a blink of an eye 💔

Turns out it was the wrong number....

Words can’t describe how much this hurts. I don’t even want to say his name. Nowhere but in my head. The realest thing I’ve experienced in my life and it’s gone.

Wow... This. This feels so relatable. There's a person... a former friend... who is no longer in my life, but who I wonder about more than I probably should. This poem pretty much sums up everything I wish I could ask this person. I cried while listening to this.

“you’re afraid to let everyone know your the bad one”

*Do you ever wonder about me?* *Like the way i wonder about you?* *Did you actually care about me?* *Or was it really just a game?*

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RU-vid channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤

I lost my best friend of like 6 years today because of a mistake a made, when I heard this I remembered all the good times we had together and all the memories we made. I didn’t know how bad loosing a friend is until it actually happened. I really relate to this in many ways.

When you're fine: *Finds it sad* When you're sad: *Understands the words*

the part she said, “you were afraid to let everyone know you were the bad one it wasn’t just me” i felt that.... :/

Omg I started cryin and sobbing the moment you literally put my thoughts into words

I was like laughing before listening this masterpiece..but when i listened this..tears just came out of my eyes... it's like i could feel this and relate this❣️

Its ok. This is how i feel about my ex-best friend too

I'm sitting here crying 2 months after while he's probably loving someone else

😢 this is exactly like what happened and how I'm feeling rn, ahh man... thank you for articulating those words, that's something special... wholey... I'm so grateful I came across this. Thank you so much for posting it 🙏❤😢

This breaks me because I lost my best friend a month ago and I am not ready to let them go so thank you for taking the words from right out of me

“You grew up so fast” I didn’t want to, But it just hurts so much..

I look through the comments and I’m like wow we’re all hurting I hope whoever is reading this is going to be ok

wowwwww, this is older than the “voicemail” track on my most recent album (GHOST) but I made a spoken word track exactly like this! i just found this and i am stoked!! amazing work 🌹

I remember listening to this about 3 yrs ago,it got recommended to me and after watching i didnt get anything and now im here again and i swear i can feel every word through me

Roses are dead Violets are dying Outside I am smiling Inside I am crying

"Because I literally meant nothing to you" I felt that

no cuz now i’m bawling because this is EXACTLY my situation. i didn’t know it could be so accurate

I read all these comments and it inspires me to not fall in love. Bc when they leave, it’ll hurt like how you all explained. And that’s sad.

"You needed a reason to hate me so you could shut me out..." Damn that's deep never even thought of that. So true

everyone is listening to the same audio but thinking of a different person if you’re feeling bad just think that rain falls but it also stops❤️

Sigh... It's been a heart-wrenching six years of longing for my best friend. She resides in another country, and the ache in my heart deepens each day. It often feels like she's drifted away, leaving me as the sole guardian of our cherished memories and the only one who still carries the torch of our friendship. The tears I've shed over her absence could fill oceans, and the yearning in my soul is a constant reminder of the void her absence has left in my life.

literally sums up my whole 2 week or so break up that happend...hits hard but still have to stay strong for others who mean your world even if the one who meant the world to you has shattered it a little

“Because I literally meant nothing to you” I felt that

"did you actually care about me " i felt that 💔

It's the first time I listened to this poem and it was such a good piece every word of it it's like my thoughts of him. Glad to be here for the poem I relate to this one.

Sometimes youtube recommendations don't disappoint and seem soo god darn relatable it's unbelievable, this is one of those moments. Thank you Skye for this wonderful "voicemail" I just recently completed my high-school and had someone I called my "best friend for life" its been 3 months and he hasn't called me even once while I kept messaging him for weeks, only to get a reply after a month saying, "god you're so annoying, thank god we aren't together anymore" he carried on while I became a ghost and now my life is simply... ruined, I CAN NOT talk with people anymore, I felt like a disappointment, a failure, not worthy enough... But in the past few days, I've come to a realization that I wasn't the problem, I was a tree while that parasite fed off of me until there was nothing left. Anyways, I feel I might be in a better place now, lets's see how this plays out

"You're supposed to grow, and you never let me grow" 😩😞
