my eyes are tired 

on the dark side of morning

the room seems to spin

only with colors of you

(such a passionate kaleidoscope)

an ocean of emotion washes over me

once open wounds never really healed

tho' the pain splashed on a page long forgotten

seems almost hallucinatory now

then again you were my drug of choice

but here and now

in the dark side of morning

i still drown in the emotion

the waves attempting to wash away 

what would best be left forgotten

the burning, throbbing pain

of losing you

Oh, that burning, throbbing pain of losing someone. Death is like a houseguest that never leaves, rearranging our lives as we know it. Your poetry has always been an ocean of emotion, for me, Lydi. It's good to know there is one constant that I can rely upon! Happy New Year, and I'm loving the new avatar, girlfriend!

[Lydia Shutter]

Happy New Year, Kelly! The avatar is me using a Snapchat filter! They are such fun! " Death is like a houseguest that never leaves"....what a fantastic line, my friend! I can always rely on you for a great review. Thank you. Lydi***

Those clinging memories that flood our senses as we try to sleep. Multiplying every memory and need.
Excellent poem very power packed.

Impetuous pain just won't let go...no matter what side we wake to, the hurt is living without that drug of choice...in literal terms but also figurative terms.
