Bitter Blues

I often struggle to make peace
with nagging relapses that,
like endless tides, come
then I need to chase away.

Intrusive rekindlings of loss,
of wanting to resurrect the past,
each time needing to go through the motions
of convincing myself it's pointless.

Confined, trapped, buckled in,
I ride this live rollercoaster
that leaves me feeling disillusioned,
frustration having a bitter rancid taste.
