You know that pain
the one that creeps in
from the edges of your mind
in the early hours of the morning
as you lie awake and think.
The one that furrows your brow
as you stare at the ceiling
watching shadows move
as sleep evades your
exhausted body and mind.
The one that eats away
at good memories
and solid trust
in relationships
you thought were unbreakable.
The one that brings up
awful memories
and so much guilt
about things that
shouldn’t even matter anymore.
The one that feasts upon
your self-esteem and confidence
and leaves a mere husk in
your wake after yet another
sleepless night.
You have taken everything
I have and this is the time
you choose to ease up
and leave me completely
and utterly alone.
And where am I to turn
to now, without even bad
feelings for company?
