I hate to break this
to you, my dear
but you are no bigger
than the dust
on my bathroom floor
and you say you
still care, but I know
you always
wanted her more.*

old poem but the feeling is still present
Ceridwen Jan 2015
Each night I ponder
on moonlit beams holding my hand
Each night I wonder
on sun rays dancing on dusty beams
And when
the wind shatters my porcelain lips, or
the stones callous my deviate feet
I feel comfort
I feel peace
Waseem Khan Dec 2014
the world is cold inside me
too cold to feel the pain
the pain that has become a part of my cold self
the pain of birth and death
the pain of being apart from you.

Ever since I made my decision to be on my own path
to be away, though to be in touch
i have missed that December we'd spent together
and had warmed each other.

Since then each December revives the memories
of the time we'd spent together
but then soon they fade away under the bright colors of New Year.

Life goes on, and on till "the last syllable of recorded time
....the way to dusty death"
Gwendolyn Nov 2014
it kills me to say this
but i've forgotten what your voice sounds like

it's been twenty-one days
and i am alive
(sometimes)

i want to drown myself in drugs
i want to drown myself in Jesus
i want to drown myself in self-loathing
i want to drown myself in you

the thought of kissing you
brought me solace on
sleepless nights
now it's the source of
my worst nightmares

i tried making dreams my reality
and reality my dreams
but you haunt every crack and crevice
of my being
i can't dust the places i can't reach

i am not well.
