Pain

I feel like I am drowning in the ocean
And my screams can't be heard by anyone
The salty water invades my body like a river
And I let my eyes open for the last time
Just to see the sun shining above me,
Like a goddess.

It's so dark here, and the pain covers me
As a butterfly cocoon which leaves me breathless
As all the memories about you suffocate me,
My mind flowing between the words
You told me in the middle of the night,
When the moonlight was caressing my face,
And the sun yours.

I am here in the darkness you created,
But the voice which helped me to escape
Is now next to my body
Reaching for me every time I feel like
I can't control myself anymore.
The pain fades away from me,
When warm arms are around my waist,
And silence is now my beloved song.

Enjoy my words.

Yes, back then I just needed some time to think more about myself. Now, I am feeling better and ready to start a new chapter. I changed my name, and I used the first two letters of my name and first name which in the both cases it's B, and that is how my name here is now Bebe.

I think from time to time we all crave a little silence .. I know for sure that I do and so much so, it hurts ..

Enjoyed as instructed, Neville :)

It is true what you said, but too much silence can affect us and I know the feeling. We need a change and only time can help us.

Acceptable loneliness as a friend. Can leave us learning to accept little.

I learn to love the silence and now I don't remember the need of human contact. Maybe a deadly place to know. Dear Bianca. When we love the silence. What is left for us? Thank you for sharing your amazing words and your thoughts.

The silence was a kind of home for me during the years, but I learned that sometimes we need the noise of the world to escape a little from our comfort zone. Thank you so much for your review!

I agree dear Bianca. Quiet life leave us loving silence. But we do need some noise. You are welcome.

Lovely imagery, though a sad tale of pain, loss and the darkness seems to make that fade... memories of sad happenings, some regret but waters are soothing and silence is golden.
well done
Best, Betty

Descriptive write about suffering the effects of pain. A visual account which appears to be all encompassing. Often writing about such an emotion can help with the healing process. Thank you for sharing your work Amisha.

[bianca]

It's nice to see you here again. Chris, Amisha is just a pen name on my page. My real one is Bianca. Thank you so much for your appreciation!

[Chris Shaw]

I'll try hard to remember your real name Bianca, but my memory isn't great :)

[bianca]

Don't say that. Do not underestimate yourself.

[Chris]

Your words are a catharses to empower the healing of your emotions.

[bianca]

That's why I am here. I want to be a way of healing for others by my writing.

[Chris]

Showing that people do come back from the pain of breaking up or loss (or even from fear) is quite real...

[bianca]

Always is a way out of a nightmare. Even if our mind tells us that there is like a prison without any escape it's not true. You always find the truth when the pain disappears and you are healed.
