Aftermath

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

This paints a very desolate picture. It radiates with a hollowness that is palpable.

This poem literally (almost physically) blew my head off. It glided soo naturally. Sweet pain of dejection!

[Jack...]

Wow, be careful...Thank you so much.

This circle of

disparity,

I seem to

wander in




the loneliness we feel sometimes just engulfs us, depressing it comes like a shade of darkness,but not always is it too awful for some, for in solitude and in solitude only do we find our true selves, the truth about us being alive.
great poem

[Jack...]

The sounds of loneliness are loud indeed, the aftermath of loss a staggering silence that you've beseeched your lovely words upon and tied it up in one sweet bow of your poetry.

[Jack...]

[Cara]

I'm not sure how sturdy the human heart is after all, this depicted that in a beautiful yet realistic light.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much. Lomeliness is a snare that tightens around you the longer it is allowed to linger.

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

Yes I am prone to it myself as you well know.
