That Time Of Year

Topic:
Grief
|
And that sickly feeling in the pit
Of my stomach and heart
Has returned - again,
It must be that time of year.
Like an aching clutch
Throttling my gut until
My throat becomes dizzy,
And my mouth leaks.
The stench is violent,
Like my memory -
Both expelled from my
Body.
Pupils dilated with
Bloody lines surrounding them.
They remind me of a marble
Centrepiece - cold - still,
Empty.
My speech is slurred,
But not a drop has passed these lips.
Nothing - but a drop
Of my own misery in a
Salty liquid form,
And it tastes better blended with
Waterproof mascara.
Finger nails blunted in
A last attempt to scratch
The pain away - forever,
Cast them away forever.
Then I'm reminded as
My not so friendly ghost
Still visits me with the many
"What if's" that follow...
I miss a part of myself
The part I let go in a brutal
Attempt to keep my innocence,
And freedom.
I miss the smile from my
Nightmares -
Creating this putrid feeling
In the pit of my stomach
and heart.
It must be that time of year.

holy wow! I can't even manage a concrete thought to relay how deeply this
moved me. Brilliant in execution and flawless in description!!
I could not place my finger on exactly where this piece touched me as the
entire, magnificent write is so incredible. I guess I just relate to these
feelings more than usual. [That time of year indeed!]
Excellent contribution. Thanks for sharing this.
