The Self
Elaina Aug 2014
I've lost myself in the driving need to please others.

The importance of this is lost on me.

How fitting.....

How me.

How do you connect
Knowing what you feel is right
The mind, with the heart?

You Know
Elaina Jul 2016
That sudden feeling when....
.... something goes wrong.

The pit of your stomach....
.... drops to your feet.

Your chest tightens in knots....
.... The heart skips a beat, and then another.

Breathing is, well....
.... stop holding your breath!

Yea, you know that feeling....

It is what it is
Elaina May 2014
The goodbye you sent me
empty in it's prose
revealed to me
just how ultimately
shattering
this all is.

Life's way of saying
nothing is permanent.
It is what it is.
Get over it

and.......

live again.

I sometimes wonder, what was your last true thought, memory?
Have you ever thought of what the last true thought was of the person who has Alzheimers or Dementia?

Where Oh Where Did They Go?
Elaina Jun 2020
Longing for just the right words
Finding them tucked away
Go to write them down
But...
Umm....
The memory just isn't what it used to be.
Some of my best poems are the ones that slipped away.... ;)
