Short Sidelined Poems

Pain

Hurting

In my heart

Letting you go

It’s an agonizing feeling to bear

It slashes me deeply inside my core

Sidelined by love

Then it’s gone

It is

Over...

Sometimes I'm in a crowd,
but my heart's eyes see a ghost-town
all around me,
with people who don't care who I am
or where I'm from....
Echoes of loneliness haunt me in my mind
every time I visit some people or places.......

It's the last inning no one wanting more to be at bat
  both unwilling to give in or recognize what it's truly all about
she refuses to be sidelined or hesitate spewing word phat
  he claims calm, subdued rhetoric thinking we'd forget prior word spouts
neither fully saint nor sinner, clearly no one a real winner....

For one who helps so many,
giving aid and relief,
to watch a loved one in need,
strains me to the core.

To be sidelined,
no longer an accessory,
reduced to normalcy,
rips out my soul,
one thread at a time.

To watch as you wither,
unable to combat this enemy,
that strikes young and old,
makes me feel impotent.

Unable to kill this hydra,
I silently watch
as you wilt away....

( Picture a Wrestling ring The Rock's music playing only I'm the one in the ring about to deliver a promo straight from the Attitude Era)
 Finally Morbid has come back to Poerysoup.com!
That's right folks I am back it's been a while, more surgeries kept me sidelined and I spent a while writing raps and battling on RapPad.co that was fun but too much drama. I had to walk away from it. I'll hopefully be writing more soon. I've missed you all!...

A sorcerer moon was rising
amidst grizzly clouds.
A lurid willingness of night
to surrender was evident-
skimming the stars.

A pact was inked between an
antiheroine and a renegade.
An apostate-
will find the refuge in serenades.

The feline grace jars the sexism 
by sitting on the fence.
A blue ocean will churn out
the urn of lethal poison.

That flame. Can you kill
the wolf ? The tricks of
child-molesting were
on the big screen.

The hawk was always hatching 
a pacer,
to spin the surveillance,

tampering the tracks of violence.
The haul was heavy. Moon and fishes
went on to spread the dragnet

striking gold from the liquid
denials. The sovereignity was
violated of a virgin god.

The rule of drinking was sidelined.
Kiss will survive after the death opens
the back door of a globe.

Dreams are exhausted. There will
be no comeback of a star player
in the game of bloody manipulations.

The moment has come,
although the deadline is not near.

I approach my decision with haste
and rational thinking.

There is not much left for me to do,
except wait.

Keeping emotions sidelined,
as it should be.

Not allowing "what ifs" or
"if onlys" play in my head.

Being logical and seeing 
things for what they are.

No longer ignoring what I turned
my head from knowing
what I did.

I can only hope she see it
as I do.

I pray that she sees where I am
and knows what is coming....

The red flag was constantly waving staring one directly in
              one's face discarded by one's mind, body, and soul sidelined.
               
              Discarded emotionally, isolated physically alone? Agony, defeat,   
               cheated on played like a violin and pounded upon like a drum.
              
              Chapters of escaped, abandonment, lies, and Self-discovery, A
              breathe of rejuvenation of calm, relaxed and healing state of mind,...
