Madness

so, if I remain another 10,000 years

would we be any different then?

how much lemonade is there to prepare

when I ran out years ago?

the pleasure of details

falls flat when it's only one hand

lifetime commitment reduces to

delusional chatter

when culprits point fingers and run

at what point does it reduce abuse

when constant anger prevails

you have everything to live for

everything to gain,

nothing to lose

and still you complain

years have passed, a decade now

life goes on

and I'm still here, putting out fires

with nothing more than an empty pail

inside all this endless roar

here in my head

in the still of the night

when all should be quiet

this is sheer madness

time to break free,

before this becomes

tragically,

the end of what was once me...

Time to break free, before this becomes tragically the end of what was once me.... very honest observation of a relationship that is taking a toll on one person. Beautifully put in to words. That is usually the reason for self preservation too!

Thank you for your comments and time.

I agree with you! Self preservation is key...

And sometimes, that gets lost in the mix of things when one person is the giver and the other simply takes...and takes... and takes ....

Wishing you well.

It is actually a passive aggressive behavior on their part, never leaving any visible signs for any one to notice but for the person to feel emotionally. You depicted it very clearly. It was a pleasure to read!

Thank you, kind one...

I do appreciate your comments and insight.

Will stop by soon.

We want to be so strong and hold on to that promise we made so long ago. If only for ourselves, our pride, yet sometimes when they aren't keeping their end of the bargain why should we?

Always and with Love

Thank you for your time...

There used to be something called honor and integrity... but maybe not so much anymore...

I will be by soon.

Like the background hum of the Universe - like tinnitus - like the sound of the Earth turning there may be no respite from the source or the reaction to it but to be able to turn that 'affliction' into art speaks volumes of this human spirit.
Excellent piece Alisa - great flow my friend.
