PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

ThoughtShock Chapter 16 "As the Echo Fades"

This is a Two part series, a creative short story based on a very sensitive topic for me. I have been battling a few addictions off and on for well over ten years and everytime I try and write about it or any "addiction" really for that matter weather it is just a poem or even a creative piece they all seem to fall short, I can never truly capture that muse and I fear I may never will for I find it extremly hard to glorify something so destructive. Anyway This is chapter 16, part two will be chapter 17 and I do hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think.

I had to go to a vary dark place for this piece, and honestly do not believe I came out the same on the other end..... I finished this sonnet last night, however decided to hold off from posting it till today; for a few reasons but the main one was that I had to reflect on this one. Because this will not be the last from this set, (even though I had decided to post it in my Third Volume.)

So let me know what you think....

Even though this is a fictional poem, many women need protection from domestic violence.

This is about my ex boyfriend, who recently broke up with me on a Friday night... Even though we were together for almost a month, he just couldn't withstand the stresses he's having and working out our relationship since I was his second real girlfriend and he was my third. Can't say I really blame him since his first relationship was ended a while ago when it almost lasted 8 months. But, he should have known what he wanted in the first place... Ever since that night, I got really ill and I could barely sleep for more than 5 hours a night (this is still going on) and I only eat like once a day. In addition to that, I get fucking irritating daily flashes of memories and it hurts my head and I'm just stressed out. Maybe this is the best for both of us, unless if he stupidly decides at school to try and win me back, but I highly doubt that now that we barely talk to each other anymore...

I referenced some songs into this, haha. Hot N' Cold by Katy Perry, What Should I Do by Jisun, and Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye.
