What is left but loneliness?

Aftermath

by jack

 

 

The silent sun

was bright this day,

my mind

was in a fog

 

Its brilliant light upon the world

did send

 

So beautiful

this morning light,

but deep

inside my heart

 

The pain of losing love

comes once again

 

I did the best

that I could do,

though once again

I see

 

I’m left to cry these tears of

constant fall

 

This circle of

disparity,

I seem to

wander in

 

Does follow me now

everywhere I go

 

My eyes are open,

I can’t see

As no one is

around

 

I’ve no direction on this

followed path

 

Crumbling,

my world it does

The loudest awful

sound

 

Now here I stand within its

aftermath

I had to read this more than once because the format isn't something with which I am familiar...but once I recognized the flow of the piece, I got into the rhythm of the thing and it flew off my tongue. Superior write.

Very sad and painful, the most terrifying pain is the loneliness

So full of sadness Jack and echoing with the despair of losing what could have been. Loneliness can be a terrible burden to bear. A beautiful heartfelt write.

I love reading your work Jack.
A well spoken metaphor for a certain mood shape here Jack,

"I’ve no direction on this
followed path"

I guess you have, when you listen clearly to that musical heartbeat of yours :)
It shall always be the compass of life.

Beautiful....
