I feel electric shivers
exit my body in the form of sighs
another delusional night
huddled beneath the sheets
feverous and disorientated.
Hear the static buzz
of the TV channel
no longer playing,
just a useless snow
that eases me a little
as I try to calm myself
no longer needing this sickness
that formed in my mind.
You caused this.
You tainted me.
You used me.
Empty feelings that used to run wild
now nothing more than a dull ache
within a body that cannot rest
sweating and shaking,
curled up into a ball for comfort
as I've no one else to hold me
to take away this pain.
The light remains on now
it flickers with each passing minute
waiting to die out
but I can't follow suit
because I'm holding on
Holding onto a dream that I long for
hanging on to his image
to help ease this depression
to take that silence in my head away.
You caused this.
You tainted me.
You used me.
You'll never know what I have suffered
since that fateful night not so long ago
because I no longer wish to talk to you
you hurt me deep
cut me even though I do not bleed
and you keep on in my thoughts
night after night haunting me
I'm tired of your image
staining my fragile mind.
I'll rest in a while
just try to sleep if only for a moment
and push you out of my thoughts
out of my life so that I can be free
and I won't have to worry
Won't have to regret times gone by
because none of it will matter anymore.
i love your poem and the comparisons in it are great.
