the departure of my spirit

Written April 25, 2007 two days before the end of my marriage. A blood halo around my new moon.

A crushing loneliness is falling on me

Cover my mouth and suffocating me

Tears have wrapped me up in a watery blanket

A coldness had twisted itself around me

Hardening my heart

A Longing

 

A Brick and some mortar here

Rinse and repeat

And thank god no one realizes

That this is how I hide.

 

All the confusion makes my head swim

All I could of, and refused, to do

Should I hate myself

Is it possible to loathe myself more than I do now

 

My trust is a currency, all spent

And a husk of what I was.

Defeated, and savior to none

Afraid, and a coward to all

I like the flow of your works...as I read them....they flow very similar to my own...in the quiet...in the dark...there are so many of us in this room. Never feel alone for we are all breathing shallow trying inwardly to exist outwardly.

Your poem exhibits strength in the face of adversity. Blessings, Sabine
