The Aftermath of Extreme Joy

Honestly...I don't know what this is. I don't know much about poetry so I guess it's freestyle. I wrote it about how I felt after an unexpected break-up. Please let me know what you think!

It starts the same every time,

The dark shields us from the day and in that,

We do not have to see

Oh how fun it is to avert our own eyes.

And why does the music hit us so?

An imaginary pain so fierce

But is it imaginary?

It all feels so real.

Until it doesn't.

Life seems to go on

But how can the days drag on so long, 

Now that we no longer desire the time...

Songs about love only remind us of our hate,

For every feeling there is an opposite. But opposites attract.

So maybe that is why we feel the anger

Surge through our veins and boil in our blood

When we're around you.

Anger is but a step from passion and more importantly, my love

What are we to do

When these feelings interlock

And leave a disgusting mound of lifelessness?

Someone you thought you once knew.

A beast that only we can see.

Time heals wounds they say,

But in time itself a monster is born

Which I cannot and will not control

A monster that pulls you down,

Thrives on your desperation,

And will never really go away.

"It's not me, I swear!"

You created it, so destroy it!

But it's not your fault that you can't see

Hate, jealousy, greed...

The demon in me is afraid to be set free.

Author's Note

I don't write a lot of poetry so I'd like you professionals to tell me how I did. All reviews would be greatly appreciated :)

The aftermath of extreme joy, it's quite a fitting title for a piece as extravagant as this. There is truly nothing other I can say than this piece sums up my life to a point, as of this current moment, and it hit me in ways not many poetry does. Well done, stunning piece.
