A Lingering Vapor
Folder:
Personal- Melancholy I shut my eyes
hoping the loneliness
would evaporate,
but instead it
simply seeped into
my mind, my heart.
It was an all-consuming
haze draped
over what I had once
known as happiness
as mists of teary
emptiness flowed out.
How I could not
escape these feelings
of solitude
that filled the year
because they weren’t
just around me
but also within.
reallly relate to this, not being able to escape feeling you thought were something of the past, because in the end they're a part of you. Really nicely written, enjoyed the metaphors.
