THE AFFLICTIONS OF LOVE (therapudic)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #28

loving blind

a crucial way to better see

though truly painful indeed

give up all the hope

in the hungriest of hearts

and the hopelessness there too

will move on

like an inflamed splinter being ousted

Loss sings loud her wet empty tune

my soul bleeds out through

these desperate tears

he can't seem to listen

not like he used to hear

such an impossible predicament

it hurts so much to witness the changes in him

knowing I'm holding onto a part of him that has

passed

I hug a remote stranger some days

and cry for the loss of my amazing love

after he has gone

stolen from me for whatever the needless reason

I ache knowing how he's really forgotten what it feels like

to truly miss me

falling further no more

for I am on that floor I swore I would never lay back down on

my soul lays  crushed  and supine

wary of  what other adjustments lay my way

I am where I began

just a bit older in the pit

nothing

in the hands of no real apology being offered

this is my life

I just wish my love were in it and not this man who claims

to be him.

I LOVE this!! I, too, feel like some of the things I write are therapy for my troubled mind- I also feel like it's cathartic to release poetically- I really enjoy being able to relate to a lot of other poets in the same way- I can see how brilliant of a writer you are and I fully dig your writing style- the unique word choices are something that really speaks to me too- I always try to develop my poetry with uncommon words, or words that I think have a certain ring to them and I feel and spirit of kinship with your writing especially when I read the word supine- I like that word and have used it as well, but I don't think I've come across it in anyone elses poetry here on postpoems- you know, it's not just about the one word supine- it's about your vocab selections as a whole, and you don't overdo it, you don't underdo it- I am VERY impressed with what I've read so far- thanks for the great reading today~ :-)
