no more...

Reality used to be a respite

from my traumatic dreams

no more.

 

Tears used to well up in my eyes

to run their course and stop

no more.

 

The heart used to skip

a beat or two in excitement

no more.

 

Thoughts used to be devoted

to improve the chance of my love

no more.

 

A moment of bliss i used to steal

from the state of constant apprehension

no more.

 

The pain used to cease

letting me forget of my past at times

no more.

 

Through my broken pieces i used to rummage

trying to align them right and repair

no more.

 

Search for the pill i used to

to ward off my inner illness

no more.

A ray of hope used to flicker

for a better tomorrow

no more.

We all have those times in our life...when our world is crumbling and we are lost and can't find our way out of the darkness.

true .. and for some of us it's all too often ..

[Poetic Beauty]

I have had my fair share but things have made a turn for the better lately. I guess that is because I have someone to share my life with once again instead of braving it alone.

glad for you mam !

This was pretty and great words. We put ourselves in pain in order to forget our past, that's true. As in self-medication, example. We use it to escape and forget, but we only forget for awhile, not forever. It's all temporary.

[the_stoic]

completely agree with your words .. we just turn numb to it. it never wanes away ..

thanks for the read.
