Troublesome

I stayed in a relationship when I was hurt by that person. Not able to let go.. feelings can have a huge impact on you.

As time goes on and I heal from the scars you gave

I will never be able to destroy all the memories we made

A year and a half of souls withering away

Tightening the grasp of my life’s potential dismay

I listened to the devil and pushed God aside

Ignoring the things that made this life alright

Fear gripped its hand around my throat

For loneliness becomes all she wrote

Imagine the sadness that could go astray

If love in my heart rushed out of me

You had me fooled and so did I

For truly there was never any love inside

I’ll shatter the mirror in which my face resides

Giving no chance to loves inward tides

Love can’t be forced, it can’t be done

For the tragedy of divorce may as well have begun

You’re lies were potent to my weak and brittle mind

Faint whispers of sympathy only kept us alive

I was a honest man with his heart on his sleeve

But with you I withheld that I wanted to leave

Being hurt by you and the things you said

Will make me stronger till the day I’m dead

As time goes on and I heal from the scars you gave

The dark shadows of our past catch flight and fade

I’ll strike this arrow through the hate you spoke

And suffocate the greed in your eyes with smoke

No passion, no love, no feelings at all

There’s nobody to catch you the next time you fall

May I fall like a leaf, so quiet a noise

And build a foundation based upon nothing but poise

Forgive me, my heart, for such weight I kept

And all the times with you I’ve wept

I loved your imagery in this poem. It made my close my eyes and picture a struggle of not just an individual, but forces of nature as well. It caught my eye and kept it until the very last word.
