only a whim

one of many memories

As I reside in desolate confines 

at the edge of your lonely road

I await your return

Your beguiling smile

Your perfidious soul

I succumb to your rapturous embrace

You enter me with righteous indignation

Fill me with poisoned nectar

A senseless gaze precedes a mindless backside

I know you're feverishly gnawing your lower lip

As I wonder whom your thoughts belong to

You found me in peace

You left me in pieces

Heart breaking, so emotional. I feel so much pain in this piece of work. The ending is awesome!

I am semireligious/ in that I believe that it is possible for the things that were torn apart
to be made whole again. If righteous indignation is what arises from an outraged sense of justice or
morality, then I have had my fill of that too.

I love this haunting ending. You found me one way and left me another.
Just tremendous.......dana

well, Im in the sorrowful trenches of an existential crisis.....I want to believe that things can be made whole again, i do. Do you know what it feels like to not believe in anything anymore? To walk through each day feeling completely adrift? I am surrounded by people, in the most critical of settings, and feel an inner loneliness that is crippling......yes, "haunting" is accurate. That is what I feel. I'm stuck somewhere in between reflection and rumination. I read once that we experience ghosts when people aren't buried right.

thank you for reading, Dana

I had to come to terms with the truth....I hated writing those words.

Thank you for reading it.
