This ill fated energy,

pretends my peace,

just want a quiet release.

I revisited pain tonight,

and it feels the same as it did

when the reality of my life

became a daily reminder

of the mistakes I made.

~

One time in my life

love seemed so nearby.

We shared our lives

in order to realize

more beyond ourselves.

The beauty in their eyes,

such was the conception

of two lives, ours together.

~

Now it’s years later

trying to recreate a scene,

though a different approach.

It seems to remind me

only in the strangest manner,

when I would least expect

a revisit of the brokenness

that invades my life. 

~

Society suggests solemnity.

Only when a tear’s mediocrity

fall in place as it should be.

When once that innocence

of life carried us forward

it is only now, really matters.

Stand up and take a bow,

for truth played out years ago.

~

I would stand only alone tonight,

while the winds outside do echo.
