Your Sorrow Can't Compare

Your Sorrow Can't Compare

A Poem by realmwriter

 In pain there exists an agony
Seeping out of every crevice,
folding in on itself to create a nexus,
a point of no return.
To wallow in the shallows
Of those that you would spurn.
To die of defeat and broken dreams,
of sadness filling the void.
So die of things that rot of thought
Of flesh and rented bone.
Take hold of the marrow
To pry yourself out of the sorrow,
for moment of respite you cannot reach.
Crush the spine against the back,
the breaking of your promise.
Toil in terror and fade from light
to exist only in despair.
Your want of luster and of pride
brought you to the nothing of no where.
But to mine what is done,
Your sorrow simply can't compare.

Deep sadness here Realmwriter... deep, deep sadness and the twisting of your heart so well described... I like all the images conveyed and how you've described grief so well... the feelings of being splintered and as you say 'crushed' do encapsulate the devastation of broken dreams and the emptiness of defeat... Keep penning :)

np anytime
one cannot allow pain to defeat and interlope their very humanity without becoming pain personified to every soul they come in contact with. you have said brilliantly that to continue to feed on this negativity is to bring yourself only more sorrow. excellent!
