One heart break after another
you build your imunity
as for credulity
you somehow keep
the one thing you don't want
the one thing you don't need
when all you want is a mother
when all you want is lovers
when all you want is a dying numbness you can cover
when all you have is lovers
but no mother
but a dying numbness you can't cover
when you have someone to hold your hand
when you have someone to keep your heart soaring
but with no pain
no stinging
just a warm touch
of someone who would die for you
but you can't feel
you can't see wisely through your scars
through the hours
who's fighting
and I'm still wondering when i will stop fighting
a war
a war i seem to be seeing
so vividly
so cruelly
so bloody
a conversation my mind has been twisted in
so focused on the win
what about the journey
what about your love
what about your father
what about your brother
what about the lessons
what about the felons
the felons you sit with
the felons you love.

I have been guilty of that always looking for results and forgetting to enjoy the process. From your comment it appears the poem led you to that conclusion. Nicely done.
I've been struggling, i understand, thankyou 🙂
I relate so closely to the way you express your pain, though it is nothing like what you've experienced I'm sure just from your writing, but we all have losses from the battles we've fought no one experience is like the other, but your words are a remind to me at least that there are others that hear and understand the pain.
turned around
I'm liking your style and grace
in writing. well done and thank you
for your friendship. I'll be reading you in the funny paper kiddo....write on. ww
vice versa, thankyou sm, i appreciate all your support.
