Sometimes I think,
Pain is okay.
If there were no pain in my life,
I wouldn't be able to write this way.
Jennifer Weiss May 2015
It doesn't feel great,
when I am greeted by nothing.
By silence.
Indifference...
Am I even here?

It doesn't feel great
thinking about all the times
I could have loved you
as fiercely and as longingly as
I do now,
but I chose hate instead.
I chose ugliness.
I chose to treat you not as a gift,
but as a burden.
Wow...
No, none of that feels great.
And though I know nothing can be changed.
Though I know I am not to live with regret
and shame.
It still hurts,
when you're the person I want to call
to share my happiness with
to share in the fruitful time I am walking through...
alone,
but I can't.

No...it doesn't feel great...
But it's okay.
This too shall pass

They say
"breathe through the pain"
but what if
that's what's causing it?
Keep breathing
You said to me you'd never leave
And I honestly didn't believe you
The sad news is that you were wrong
And sometimes winning isn't fun to do.
.
   There comes a point
   in the dead of night
When all is still without you
   You cannot see
   if you look outside
And the darkness grows about you.

   There is a time
   when the lights go out
And the moon is dead beneath me
   That the dark things crawl
   and come alive
And I wonder what you'll bequeath me.

— The End —
