Untitled…
Painful memories linger at the back of my mind
Nights of love
Filled with pleasures untold
Unquestioned trust
As I bared my soul
Naked and honest I gave you my all
Never doubting the path you led me down
Until the day came we parted ways
Like a river driving us further from each other’s side
I tried my best to stand against the rushing waters
Frightened by my need for you
I saw the life I once beheld burn to ashes before my eyes
Never realizing that last night you unchained me
You had removed me forever from your side
No tears I shed, no pleas I begged
Could ever turn you back to me
Alone and lost in the turmoil in my head
I have tried too many times to replace what we once had shared
To only find I had failed time after time
Unwilling to admit there could never be another to stand in your stead
As I reach to the naked flesh upon my neck
A tear rolls down a well traveled path
Remembering the symbol that had made me yours
Forever to be divested of the one thing that held you to me
To remain forever bare in memory of you

@JadeMaster2 - @Journal2myself - @godfatherofgreenbay - @RakkaRay - thank you very much
this is how i’ve been feeling the last 6 months.
@Eyesbehindthesoul - I hope it gets better for you soon
It is amazing how your words can create heart-stirring emotions, leaving one almost breathless with the feelings felt.
The mini pretty much speaks my thoughts when it comes to your poetry, Storm.
Know you are missed, little lady & hoping life is not being too rough on you.
Keeping you in thoughts & prayers.
Beautifully and powerfully written.
It’s nice to be reading your writing again…like I was parched and just got a drink of water.
This is powerful. The line “frightened by my need…” I understand that related to a man.
HUGS!!!
