Beginning one before finishing the lastA Poem by Launa'sWritepoem about *unwittingly* entering into a new relationship that spawned romantic feelings, without fully having processed the previous one...The end of one, the beginning of another, how much time should elapse? No precise number, the filling of the void, tread carefully so as to not rush hastily Only to find oneself, confused, fragile, spewing neuroses with a certain charm Recovery, doubly as hard Not one but two Embarrassment and pain Drank myself into categorical pain. Alcoholic being my category. No space between the next and the last No need for a bridge, I have alcohol This transition was no transition and in fact I see the bridge, old, unkept, gaping holes, condemned It’s amazing how we may not even know, or how far removed we can be Or how we think what we learned in one context will necessarily transfer to another one Chasing the pleasure, regardless of consequences, cues maintaining the attraction They put a billboard up that showed people drinking and having fun And after all this, the pain, the confusion, the despair, hurt feelings... Im feeling good today. But Guess what? I’m walking to the store to get a beer. While I believe in responsibility, I try not to forsake human fragility. Cues, cues, cues... External, external, external, My proper judgements based... My proper judgment abased.. Cues, cues, cues, Internal, internal, internal. What ever happened to my ability to choose.. Whatever happened to my ability to choose.. Whatever happened.. Happened.. Whatever. W. . © 2010 Launa'sWriteFeatured Review
