Going Through the Motions

Going Through the Motions

A Poem by Whiskurz

A momentary lapse of reason
Has brought me back to you
Even though I'll always know
The hurt you've put me through
With blinded eyes I come again
My heart won't let me leave
I can't deny the tears I cry
The evidence, on my sleeve
Doubt has now replaced the hope
That made my world worth while
Dread and fear will reappear
And steal away my smile
Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
I have no will to even feel
Just following your commands
Broken dreams your voice commands
My will no more my own
A lonely seed, a useless weed
That you alone have sown
I'm just going through the motions
Tired and feeling used
I tried today to stay away
But again, my heart refused

I think many of us , especially
Females tend to keep returning to the poisonous relationships that we once wanted to desperately escape.
We get used to a person, and even though, there’s not genuine happiness.
There’s a certain comfort in the routine.
Really nice read!
Well done :)

Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
I have no will to even feel
Just following your commands. -- I feel like your words' explain something I am going through in my life right now...

You can love someone, but that doesn't mean they are good for you. Hardest love to walk away from and the hardest love to abide.

Beautifully expressed - how the heart can sometimes make us feel as though we have no control. Sadly, I can relate to this. I love the last line. It is perfect.

oh so beautifully sad, your heart would never want to hurt you, only you and your choices can do that, you express perfectly the dilemas of our own limitiations

Wonderfully expressed words, I like the motion of truthfulness descending through the very first word. Poem exactly is expressing the thoughts of a helpless person. And the poet has narrated it excellently. Good job.

This is a well written poem and the message is sad.I can connect to this on a certain level. Never been through any thing like this but some one close to me has. You have written down emotions into words nicely. Thank you for the great read.
