I am stuck and dug in emotions.
without you,i cannot sleep.
i grapple,with the ghosts of the day.
and through this rest less night-i lay awake.
i help to wonder,just on the why?
Your heart is shameless,and so is mine.
But i do not question why im alone.
Instead i ponder,and i condole.
I am struck by darkness.
You are struck by growth.
With the clock ticking, i surrender to emotions.
And no longer question things on my own.
So here i am,listing passions.
And find myself caressing my expression.
No longer paint,no longer write.
Tell me why i have lost my light.
Im plotting
maybe,you should ask questions
im feeling
maybe,i am feeding vengeance
so therefore i,in darkness shine
i manifest that i sleep sweetly
throughout this starry night

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is written inside of a small poem book that i wrote for my boyfriend. I wrote to him nearly daily inside this book,until i noticed he never read any of my poems. I noticed over the last 5 years we’ve been together,how toxic our love truly is. To me his darkness has ate my meaning of life,and i’ve lost my passion for writing,dancing,and any physical or emotional expression. This is the last poem i wrote inside that sunflower covered book.

Welcome to MPS. This is a frightening warning as a poem when one recognizes that one is being held back and destroyed by another then one must make a decision of staying or leaving. Well written.
Thank you.
I hope i make the right decision overtime.
You are most welcome. If you listen to both heart and head you will
