False Fear

Yesterday, I wished for sunshine, hoping that the gentle warmth would defeat my inner darkness.
Today, however, I prayed for rain,
So that my shame could be washed away.

I need a downpour, a deluge
To remind me that storms are natural
And I'm not insane.

My other half loves me passionately,
yet I can never experience it.
I remain caught in waves of doubt,
ready to run if he does.

Unreciprocated love in a falsified state is just as deadly as the bona fide tragedy.
I grow weary of pretending to live
while my mind is terminally ill.

So may the heavens pour with the ferocity of a hurricane;
I'm ready to be taken away.

Sometimes the waves of false fears go high and become tides but why fear if you know it's 'false'. Your poem's really sad BTW. And a good one too :)

I definitely relate to this.often stories I'm drawn to are full of sorrow like this one but they are closest to the truth. If the rain washes you away reach out to me, so I can wash away with you

Thank you! I certainly will

I enjoyed reading the poem mostly because I felt the same a few months ago. It is true that unrequited love makes you wish for the worst. I hope you’re better now. Nonetheless, GREAT WRITE! This one I really liked.

what a sad poem, if there are doubts the sense of security goes down which is not good for the esteem of a person.

Sometimes we are just caught in between the desire to survive and fight and the desire to let go of everything...that's what I felt reading your poem.Good write!
