I have parted ways with my body
Because my mind isn't present
My heart, a charcoal gray: foggy
Has little passion since our dissent
I wrote dainty letters for you
Romantic, lengthy confessions.
Every empty word- away each flew
Whilst wading daily in depression.
Softly my soul fades with my love.
A hollow hole cut deep in your heart-
By unkind hope: an olive branching dove--
Is the coal that fuels this hatred art.
This suffering manifests my mind.
Winds blustering my common sense,
And life muttering "Are you blind?"
My body is combusting in defense .
Revenge begs me to set you ablaze-
Compassion treads across this hell,
Speaks and heads into the insane,
Pulls me by the threads out of a spell.
I restrain from you- I am free -
I won't mention your infidelity.
Just make me feel not absentee.
I'm just done being unhappy.
Lots of thoughts- to be made into several different poems
