i remember
when life felt immortal
when love was intoxicating
when days were simpler
my long lost friend
my youth

In the end
We can pretend
It never happened
annh Jul 2019
Toilworn.
No words. No sword.
I drown, drowsily, in snow;
Soon lost to lornly’s downy sorrow.
Now low. Low-lit, I stonily sit.
So it is, I worldly rid.

Of all the ways
I’ve watched the world
Fail to take flight

The worst is my own

the nasty bleeding
half-written
bloodstained ******* lines
unfinished
verses

ear-piercing weeping
mournful
failed prose scribbled
pathetically
broken

to touch people’s hearts
wishing—
tears wait in shadows
stories still
unspoken
It's never easy to span the many distances among heart and head and language and the keyboard of my laptop.  Perhaps I should go back to paper and pencil...

I just removed the original first verse:

my fake dreams
shattered
my stupid mind monsters
woefully
bellow

I think it didn't need it.  Did it?

Where are such lovers
Of which I dream
Created and left
Between the sheets
