That Night

Transfixed into another world, my senses keen
Having the chance to exchange glances in life,
An hour or so was enough time; I wanted seen.
Thinking about that night, delivers such strife.


Now awakened, that night haunts me so.
I live in utter dismay, angered of the loss.
Going through life heartless, who will know?
Heart broken, mind scattered, my soul cross.
That night, cursed my life, truth will never show.

The utter despair of something that haunts...some pains never leave us, we just have to carry them hidden away as well as we can. May peace be in the heart of those who grieve.

Hi Cecil They say dreams are messengers to our heart spirit and mind. But sometimes they sure can be a pain to work through...A wonderful written acrostic. I truly enjoyed.

many traumatic memories make sure they are not forgotten and surface when we most need sleep and peace, great write.
