it's cold in my apartment
i got a teardrop
that's about to commit suicide
despite my pleas
to stay tucked away
and i'm thinkin
about him
the only one i've ever really loved
yes he's the one
that got away
and my reality is painted
in so many shades of gray
i have made a mountain of my future
and it's off in the distance
looming and intimidating
do i find hope for the future
when there's this much sorrow today
i know where i want to go
but i'm feeling old and tired
and how do i get there
from here
it's a road i'm scared to walk down
i'm such a fuck up
in so many ways
and there's a light inside of me
as bright as the sun
but for a long long time
it's not found a way
to escape the weight that's the blanket
of all this heartache that i carry around
i'm awaiting the sound of
my own strength
nowhere to be found
i miss this prince
whom i'll never find again
it was once in a lifetime
he was the only lighthouse
i had in all this darkness
forboding i wait in the shadows
i want to sleep it off
but i wake up and it's still here
whispering to me,
when does the time come near?
 
I can relate to this poem 100%. This is exactly how my life has been lately.
Thanks for sharing this with me and everyone else. It makes you think. Its actually great to know that other people go through this or think about it (cause you think that you are the only one at times).
 
Wow! You don't even know how hard this poem hit me. You just put the entire past year of my life into words! I wish I could speak such wisdom back to you, but all I can say is hang on, it's so rough (I know) but wait it out and it will get better in time. It's been one year and I finally stopped seeing his face on everyone I pass, I forget the sound of his laugh and I don't smell his scent anymore when I wake up. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not the only one left in a place called Misery.
 
thanks everyone who replied...it's so funny you know, those moments when you are so alone and the sorrow is all you have to hold onto..it's nice to come down off of that and realise that the way in which we are not alone is that we are ultimately are alone...everyone feels that sometimes, some more than others. sometimes i wonder if i am just meant to feel more sadness than other people, if some of us just have different thigs we have to come to terms with, and learn and understand in this life...
