Internal Storm (ii)

By boneplate

the stone in my pocket
grows heavy,
from the burdens it bears,
the memories it took for granted.
the life it should have lived
a love it should have loved.

my privation of faith is filling
my hands with dust.
as my body absorbs
the imminent grey sky,
of longing, loss and love..

It only storms inside....
the world continues without me.
no second glances.
...chances.

accepting the thunder
of decisions and regret
selfish desires
swirl through my head;
filling my eyes with a darkness,
of envy and jealousy.
allowing the lightning
to illuminate my
soul.less existence.

    Oh...god. every single word of this I have felt and felt deeply. Your words were like..well...I could come up with dozens of trite and cliche comparisons to physical pain. But given what you wrote I'm assuming I don't have to. Just..I understand. Beautifully written, if painful.

  • A former member wrote: I barely made it past the first stanza without feeling physical pain....and then, "the world continues without me"....you have portrayed a familiar agony is such a way that it feels separated from reality entirely....wonderful, truly.
