Black Poetry : Familiar Faces

[Wisdom7]

Shattered dreams embrace me like a stiff wool blanket
My soul begs and pleads for the comfort it hungrily craves
Alone once again, stunned from another departure
Disillusionment crashes down upon my being like cold fierce waves

Embarassment lies at my bedside, greeting me each day I wake
Tauntingly reminding me I shared my innermost thoughts and desires
Trusting you in a space guarded well by repetitive experience
The fool has returned to shadow my face into nonexistence

Flashbacks shock my heart, trying to rescusitate a fading beat
The voice of promise flowing like tears sincerely through your eyes
Our verbalized plans now like fragments of dust circling the air
Caught in another whirlwind, damaged and left behind from the storm

Quesstions viciously bombarding every crevice of my mind
How much of this was real and what was illusion to my eyes?
Where was the gatekeeper of experience lounging this time?
Allowing another theft of enormous proportion...nonreplaceable

Long lost but not forgotten faces approach me once more
Hello Pain, Anger, Confusion..how well do I remember
Where is Strength, Determination and Pride?...Late as usual
I see Numbness has settled in its familiar dwelling

Excuse me while I change.....into the person I was before I met you.

deep thoughts cover da mind as the heart of pain drift deeper
I felt all this heavy splash

To think that you gave yourself to someone who does not cherish it makes one feel that there's an enemy out there carrying around a precious secret. Your words were so full that they carpeted the page. Awesome...

Whoah, I'm nearly speechless..

It's been a long while since I've been absorbed like that into a piece, Wisdom7. I almost cried. Deeply felt. I can relate only too well. You definitely have this craft mastered.

Thanks guys for reading. I wrote that one 10 years ago too. I think I might try writing again.
