and once more disappoint.A Poem by HuwThe woman told me she was scared of being happy because when it ended and it always did the disappointment far outweighed any semblance of joy that the happiness had promised. She avoided happiness for she knew the path of disappointment and where it would lead her. She longed for and found emotional oblivion in alcohol and drugs that also fuelled her lust which left her ashamed and guilt ridden. Never again, was her morning mantra a feeble promise made to be broken as the deep need and thirst reappeared the wretched woman faced another day and waited for happiness to break its promise and once more disappoint. © 2020 Huw |
