Thoughts

Deep within burning with energy,

Dwells the fires of my being,

Held now by the chains of the past.

 

It burns, radiating from my chest,

A devouring vortex of anger and pain.

 

My own heart is now my enemy,

Clouding the only hope I am seeing,

The truth of myself at last.

 

With you I have been my best,

But it seems being with you has been in vain.

 

The curse of a memory,

Knowing what it means to be truly living,

With you happiness has been giving to me.

 

Yet here I am taking on another test,

My one true strength now truly my bane.

 

Ambiguity, animosity, enmity,

The goodness of my heart fleeing,

From the man I was and am meant to be.

Wow bro I have to say you outdid yourself here. Raw emotion leaps out of the page and into the heart of your readers. I am sorry that anyone has ever had to feel the way you just described, especially you though. You have been through so much anyways in your life, you should have never have had to feel the extra sting of repetitive cuckoldry and deception. you are a mna of honor and an excellent poet. I hope you will keep writing and that you will allow us to share in the glories of it. I have known you long enough now to know that whatever you touch transforms to gold. Your writing is no different. Keep up the good work bro!

My own heart is now my enemy,

--we are usually always our own worst enemy in most things...the human mind has an interesting way of transforming the heart.

Nicely done, another emotional write.
