The stars fell under the sea.

OBSERVATIONS...

My dreams laid forgotten 

barely stirred up by the smooth tide

 

I sit reflecting on all I have given and lost 

to the endless thrum of necessity Needlessly.

 

i am the wreckage of a forgotten soul

who once thought love immortal 

 

now I sit here in my brokenness 

shards of pride laced with the blood of desperation 

 

i watch the rivers of pain stain my hands

crystal tracks delineate courage and sink to the stars at my feet 

 

will no one see me as equal?

Will no one understand?

 

worthless promises for my undying championing.

trust never a wager worth backing

 

redemption comes to those who profess to lacking 

and those who wash thier feet in the tide willing to let bad tides turn.

 

dreams upon dreams yet to break the surface 

oh what could have been, if only, the tide was on my side.

This is really so true about

This is really so true about when we have a relationship that ends badly. It's like we get so fixated on everything that went wrong, and suddenly, all the things we loved in the beginning are so far from our reach. Where do those good memories go? It reminds me of socks that get lost in the washing machine. This really made me think about that and I really never gave it much thought before. It's always like 10 years have to go by before any good memories even enter my mind at all after a bad one.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
