Side Effect

SIDE EFFECTS 
What's real;  the pills or the dreams.
The absence of my queen,
Days without meals
I think, am at lifes bream.
Consciousness, but a thing
To far for a starved soul of loves doing,
My days are but a grave 
For time wouldn't bury the pain.
Thinking I was brave
Her absence will drain 
The hope that echoes 
Our journey to follow
My pretend; the chaos 
War in the pillows 
A story with no hero 
Now I am just a zero
For the side effect left me a widow.

Paul, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
