Eviscerated

TrystanBehm

He walked into the room, a short time after she

The comforter on the floor, where it should not be

The smell of liquor and strong cologne

Isolates the room, I am not alone

 

Her foreboding glance so clean the line

A face so foreign, rejection, it’s mine

Where were you when I needed you most?

An enchanted house, missing the host

 

I took a line and drove it hard

The consequence a soul, wrought and marred

The want and hopes cannot explain

The direction and thought you should entertain

 

Your grave is imminent, not just your past

An entity I can feel, sometimes I can grasp

The reign is over, your time is done

Too many lives, drowned under the sun

    I felt quite intrigued by this one.

    Like I was walking into a room that was a puzzle that I may never quite find the pieces of.

      Thanks slyviasearcher,

      Appreciate the comment. Not sure I ever put the puzzle together fully myself!

      Trystan,

      I’ve read your poem a few times! It’s veered me in different directions; however, the one I keep returning to is of an individual known to my family! He had it all and lost it all to alcohol! An alcoholic who lost his battle to his addiction!

      An excellent write! Thank you for sharing!

        Thanks Laura - sorry to hear about your friend. The poem definitely has a tragic tone, but the ending wasn't tragic 🙂

          Thank you, Trystan!

          Glad the ending to your poem was not a tragic one for the intended subject of your poem!😉

          Very good thought provoking write Trystan, I see different things in it every time I read it but I do see a good way forward in the last verse.

            Thank you Goldfinch60. I am glad to know you see different things with this, it spans a considerable time, so it should feel that way. Really appreciate the comments!
