PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

when crushes become painful they are so much harder

to leave behind

while through sad strokes of mean injustice we're tortured

like visions denied to the blind

bound tightly within a circle of solitary circumstance

grown all the more dusty by unintentional neglect

raw from the rigorous out pouring

while blemished by the gain of no actual self respect

what we each eventually manage to do

is not right now the immediate concern and or issue

but just a channel in which to change the speed of the

pain

a way to carry the entire load without actually

'Marrying The Rain'

sometimes it ( the pain) eases its own self for just

a little while

and we can even seem alright at times until a harmless

return of one promise filled flickering smile

and the not so old object of your universe's center

unknowingly knocks you back into your carefully side

stepped repetitive groove

and you're back where you started from

working alone again on an emotion that will likely

never improve..........
