So i over share

By BetaWolfinVA

I talk to the world of my disappointments
of my lost love, that still gives me great pain
of the current love that i find i cannot feel
of my pining over children never born
nor to my knowledge conceived
-
i was an accidental predator
she with the red-raven hair
lied about her age
accepted my soul
and threw my heart away
-
married now and
losing my mind
-
eighty pounds (or more)
separates me from holding
my own child in my arms
should she shed eighty pounds
should i shed four hundred?
-
crying my self to sleep
wearing headphones
to drown out the noise
is not conducive
to me wanting to break
the wall of pillows
-
i am tired of
living without
the cuddles
that make
life worth living
-
dreaming about
cuddles counted
in terms of three
raven, her husband, and me

    I think I have a hard time reading much of your poetry because it takes me back to battles I have had to fight one way or another, and times when I was not of a right mind to make those battles. Looks like you are taking the same path I did...only time will tell sir. This was painstaking to read though it was not my story, it shed light on a time it would have pertained.

    its hard to look in the mirror... but its also cathartic Scholar

    just one small spelling error, "Loosing", it should read "losing". I know what this feels like, I have loved and lost than wondered if I could get it back again.

    humm... could that be a freudian slip (though i think that a silk one cloaks the female form better) that begs the question of am i misplacing my mind (losing) or setting it free (loosing)... interesting Scholar

    I don't think sharing is ever a very satisfactory solution, at least for very long, best of luck HH!

    lol... title came before the end... but funny how it fits the end too... i think part of my issues is that i read a bit too much Heinlein in my Formative Years (stranger in a strange land, the moon is a harsh mistress, time enough for love, the number of the beast, the cat who walks through walls, etc) Poly Poly Hai... Cross that with dynastic pressures... grape be getting squeezed Scholar
