Lost in Misery

Beneath her dreams

      shattered shards exist

in place of crystal promises

she's wasted

what's dying inside her head.

listening to the chitter chatter

  when it's loud

     within her mind

the pitter patter of small feet

    unheard .. from here to there

shadows shifting in the dark

  she..dazed and confused,

    a stupor, daydream haze of him.

thoughts eaten like swiss holes

     shredded.. thread thin..

but her lover has left and

  oh~ her fantasy threshold crashed...

  claimed by reality, lost in misery

her dark and now familiar companion

Hello dear Fran. Love can be a blessing or a hell-bound journey.
"she..dazed and confused,
a stupor, daydream haze of him.
thoughts eaten like swiss holes
shredded.. thread thin.."
I loved the above lines. Love can mess us up. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Romantic love can be like a drug. When it's working, one is high as a kite, but when it goes bad, the emotional pain is almost as bad as bereavement. If this offering could be rendered in rhyme, it would make a great country music song.

[Fran Marie]

Thanks..yes it might at that
country tunes are often sad...

I'm fortunate never to have felt the loss of a broken relationship, only the heartache and misery of losing loved ones to death.
Another finely written piece.

[Fran Marie]

misery and grief ..so true..

Familiar feelings, well done! Love the presentation, the darkness and energy or lack of in this case which love loss drains from us and what we do to ourselves in that loss really drains us.

Exhaustion is the bane of parents everywhere but we have to stay strong for the children. I read somewhere that depression does not come from being weak but from being strong for far too long, alone. Great poem, Fran. I enjoyed.

Taking on the storms of life
all alone ..can eventually cause
depression..thanks Fabian for your fine insightful review

threshold crashed...misery is not a true friend, but it will often be our companion.

You are writing some terrific stuff, Fran Marie....my goodness....
Musical lyrics, alliteration abounds accentuating the thoughts behind the words.
