Incomplete

By HadassahDare

 Coming down from the highest high
What felt so exquisite
now feels like slime sliding over my skin,
regret taking over me,
drowning in grief
mourning for what was once me
utterly lost in my  head, in what I did
old demons taking over me,
old needs holding my thoughts hostage.

    Old comment from me but still true as ever - " our minds create our own private Hell; more exquisite than any devil could ever conjure up" thinking John Milton maybe? Thanks for sharing this.
