My Damaged Brain Poem, by Friendship, at My poetic side

My Damaged Brain

In whispers of trust, I once confided,

My deepest dreams, my heart's inside,

To one who vowed to stand by my side,

But little did I know, a betrayal would reside.

Their words, a gentle breeze that soothed my soul,

But hid a storm that would soon take its toll,

They crushed my dreams, with a careless might,

And I, in weakness, let them take flight.

My mind, a canvas, once vibrant and bright,

Now fractured and worn, a damaged sight,

The colors that once danced, now dulled and gray,

As the brushstrokes of pain, erased the beauty of the day.

I feel the weight, of a heart that's lost its way,

A dreamscape shattered, like fallen leaves in May,

The whispers of "you can't" and "you're not enough",

Echoing through my mind, a haunting, mournful hush.

My brain, a maze, where thoughts once wandered free,

Now a labyrinth of shadows, where darkness reigns supreme,

The spark that once ignited, my passions and my fire,

Flickers out, a dying ember, a heart's desire.

It's time to say goodbye, to the dreams I once held dear,

To the hopes that once lifted me, now but a distant, fading tear,

I'll let go of the shards, of a heart that's broken and worn,

And whisper a final farewell, to the me that's been torn.

In this goodbye, I'll find a strange, sad peace,

A surrender to the pain, a release from the ceaseless siege,

My mind, a damaged thing, can no longer roam,

Free to dream, to soar, to find its way back home.

So I'll lay my head, on this cold, hard ground,

And let the darkness, envelop me, without a sound,

For in the silence, I'll find a mournful reprieve,

A farewell to the dreams, that I can no longer retrieve.
