lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

Heartache

CATEGORY

Superficial tears remain ignored
I expected some fragility over time
But unbeknownst to their depth
Relief sparingly visited.

Tears graduating to full rips
Required stronger medication
While building scar tissue
Allowing me to sleep through the night.

Sometimes.

Slow motion time lapsed hallucinations
Resets time over and over again
I return to my slumber once more
As nightmares resume their chase.

In this one particular dream
I can’t even see my own face.
Who is this in my reflection?
Why doesn’t she look like me?

How can this be?
Skin tone and features are identical
Movements and gestures are mimicked
I swear it’s someone else,

My heart mosaically shatters
Wrenching in pain,
Blindly enraged I yell
It’s not meeeeeeee!!!!!

And it was with the deafening sound
Of shattering glass that sat me
Straight up out of my sleep
Sweating, heart pounding and all.

Fed up with the constant pain
Of the back and forth, the up and down
In and out, stalemate after stalemate
It’s time for this to end.

Right here, right now
This heartache has to stop
For the sake of my sanity
And wellbeing.

I look over to my mirror
And saw it was me
I could feel it
It’s time to move on.

Such is the nature of love in the healing of the pain that it causes. In doing so, it follows the scriptures: "...weeping endure[s] for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Love's tears of grief eventually become love's tears of joy flowing with sweet beautiful keloid memories. In other words, check this out: "Now I look into the mirror and what do I see? Another one of God's beautiful creatures looking back at me!" ONE, LP45. Peace and Love.
