Thought I laid you to rest
A mist in my eye
Through dreams and nightmares
Beyond the endless sky
There is so much wrong
And not much to hold on to
So I'll just sing a song
And dip my head under the blue
It's cool comfort, this sea
My own resignation enveloping me
You slip out of my sight
And somehow, I can breathe
Author's Notes/Comments:
First thing I've written in over a year. All the poems you see here were written when I was 19 or 20 years old (with the exception of the Missing Pages series, that was when I was 14). I was going through a serious depression because of a break up. Now I feel like I have no inspiration. I need your encouragement!! Should I keep writing??
*EDIT*
I meant to say that during the time in which I wrote these poems I was going through a deep depression. I am currently in a good relationship. Unfortunately, the inspiration went away with the depression.
Good Poem!
Yes! You should keep writing! This is the first poem of yours that I've read, and it is very good. The last verse is golden! Great write!
solid work here
I know what you're going through, I was in a relationship for nearly 4 years and the last two without her have been difficult to say the least - you really have only two choices; either you can let the past defeat you.. or you let it liberate you (no easy task but doable), but try to own it no matter what..wear it as a prideful scar, something that you really wanted to work out but didn't.. but you got through it. and OF COURSE keep writing!! it can be very helpful, downright therapeutic at times.
I wish you the best, take care
