Unspeakable

By Intoxicating Delirium

Conceived not from love but,
Of grief stricken codependence, an unattainable addiction.
 
There is no atonement in store,
My decision exuding affliction.
 
This irreplaceable life… will inevitably devour my entirety.

    I found this here. A brief respite perhaps from the wild coyote emptying his loneliness and longing to the sky. No one comes ....nothing is changed....lonely heart sleeps as is.....I better be going.

  • A former member wrote: Deep expression with an attention demanding message.

    I wonder, if you recall, was your mental state when you wrote this somewhat disconnected from the world around you? It seems like you were exploring the inner parts you your soul and just jotting down what you felt along the path. I do love it when words come from such a deep place that they feel like an image of what is inside. I particularly like that the perspective seems to be that of an outsider looking inward. If you did that on purpose, you're a genius, and if it just happened, bravo for being so expressive. ~ By the way, I do hope you're wrong about that last line. Scholar

    ...fate so speaks of dread here, that it should remain mute...
