I am loathing, and he is laughing
I am dying and he is living
This paradox separates us
From forgiving and forgetting
But I know that he’s forgotten
He is the untamed horse
And I the lonesome tamer
And just like the rocks of the earth
He is permanent – he is strong
Blessed with all of Adam’s virtues
And the imagination built for the sky
In these winter nights he sleeps
With no lamp, no candle, no moon
Just the sun that is in his heart
And who am I to destroy it?
With such awakening, such life
My footprints are no longer on the sidewalk
Only hers
I fear that such temptation
Will ravage through the walls
And seap through all my blankets
But may it never happen again
As long as I am blind
Crevaced between reality
The lightning will never hurt me
Nor will the thunder ever scare me
She is the only flame he sees
And I the lonely pebble in the ocean
What does it matter that I’ve sunk so far?
My sou still burns for rest
Upon the ocean floor
I am quiet, I am still
Because I’m trying to forget
Like all good broken hearts
And all those stars in the heavens
They no longer shine for me
They just fall to meet their fate
And what am I to become?
I am not the wave in your ocean
I am not the wind in your hair
Only a memory left behind
To walk around in oblivion
May this night pass sooner
As well as tomorrow and the next day
Cheap and worn down is all I could say
And the words stuck to a gray backgournd
And it was empty
Just like all these memories
Just like all these hours
And they form to complete a feeling
You promise I’d never have
But it doesn’t matter anymore
Because I’ve tucked them away
But they can only sleep for so long
Until they rise to fill the sky
I dare not say those words again
Such lies hide behind them
But I will never see through them
Nor believe them
I fell asleep alone tonight
Like all good broken hearts
Forgetting and forgetting and forgetting
With no sense of injury or fear
His breath is not alone
And I conceive the worst of this all
So I’ll close my eyes so tigtly
In hopes that this will pass
Even though its another day of foriving
Its also another day of forgetting

Beautiful... I was held captive throughout this
piece. The emotion in this write was just
heartbreaking and at times it was hard to
read because I've felt the same (just been
unable to voice it as poignantly as you did
here). What stood out the most though was
the ending because it seems like you've
decided to leave your pain behind and move
on.
"And all those stars in the heavens
They no longer shine for me
They just fall to meet their fate"
Those three lines made my jaw drop. I hope
to see another one soon!
