Life goes on
The days turn
And I’m stuck.
Life goes on
But I don’t
And that’s a problem,
That only affects me.
No one cares how shattered my world may be.
I’m heart broken as a Greek plate
And I am contrite to reflect,
I let love become destructive
Instead of constructive.
I feel like it’s my fault
And I should just let it go
But my heart is full of love
That has no place to flow.
I should love myself, they say;
But this love I have is for a man.
I should love God, they say;
But God is not a man.
I should and I shouldn’t
Everyone seem to know best,
Yet my heart disagrees
And my days are unrest.
I want to be numb so I don’t feel the pain,
But I have to feel the pain to recall my own name.
I don’t want to say goodbye
But now I think I can.
In the desert’s dusk an echo fades,
I failed
I failed.
A tumultuous sandstorm,
A man is gone
A woman is gone.
People ask for things they cannot handle,
Then it all goes wrong.
You wanted to domain so
I let you lead, and
You lead me to oblivion.
You lead me to more gray hairs, lead.
Caused my eyes to wrinkle, many tears shed.
No wonder I feel that
I failed
I failed.
I fade. I’m dead. I’m free. I’m me.

Broken as ever
But she’s not beyond being put back together
Lol that’s nice thank you 😊 I’m not broken though I’m very much whole
Just what came to mind while reading. I’m weird like that.
The “whole” is compiled of many parts including the less pleasant ones. In all my writings I describe contradictions, many parts of the whole. Here the poem ends in rejuvenation and freedom despite the heartbreak. A heart is also, a part of the whole 😊
You’re intelligent and mysterious lol!
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
