The Agony That Know’s No Respite

by sobroquet

No chemical or drink can assuage the Agony that knows no respite The loss of love from a careless concern Has a memory that burns and burns and burns Even sleep is no release For she’ll relentlessly invade your dreams Calling out in abstract schemes As dreams often do they are there to remind you To attend to something while awake That you pretend is sorted but actually was forsaken Aching aching aching Anguish anguish anguish Can walk a million miles To vanquish the missing smiles Even then the motion is no distraction No catharsis, no abreaction Talk talk talk said the therapist It will do you good To pay heed to the actions That have resulted in no respite
