The dilemma of dissociation

Blackest night is my heart
into its depths I can not see

All my life is mists of gray 
nothing plain for me

I look deep into your eyes
and know what we had is gone

And still I see the shadows of love lost...
and wish it not bygone

Perhaps I will never learn,
at least that's what some would say

And all my life, wishful thinking
controlling all my days

The dilemma of dissociation (C) 1986 Susan Manley

I can feel the angst and pain in your words which your portray so well and posting it after so long, it is maybe you feel the same away again, or maybe going through old poems that remind you of your current situation... always a pleasure to read your emotive poems..
