Jon B. Rangel Poet Elegy

Numb

The last couple of day's have been a blur,
from what does this wretched eclipse of confusion spur?

My life broken because of a mistake,
at what ends will I be consumed by this fate?

Again I will be alone in a strange land,
where the only purpose is to fight in the sand.

Sleepless nights and dreary days will haunt me,
no motivation to carry on, no will to decree.

I cannot laugh, I cannot cry,
my heart racing to the point I want to die.

Reality has yet to set in on these current events, 
but 9 years thrown away just to feel content.

Sharon Winter October 1, 2008 at 5:15 PM I have a close relative who is going through a possible failed marriage. Strange thing is, they have been married for about the same amount of time as you. It is so personal, what has happened, I cannot reveal, but I can say my heart goes out to you. He is devastated, and his life is totally messed up. Just stopping by to say hope somehow you are doing better, and to say thank you for serving our country. There are caring people hear who listen. Please keep writing. Good luck. Love, Shar
