A Love Worth Fighting For

Hopeless thoughts daunted with

Boundless irrefutable feelings

Rip and tear at heart strings.


Stinging eyes and swollen lips

Cry out longing for what they

Can’t and never will have….

A love worth fighting for.

Memories

I’m forgetting how to drag these worthless thoughts
 
Through broken and grasping fingertips.
 
Empty is my mind, and yet
 
I struggle to rip away the strangling
 
Emotions that leave me breathless.
 
Repugnantly my contention simply dissipates
 
with the thought of you.
 
Memories of what was and what is
 
clash like fire and ice.
 
It burns more than anything imaginable.
 
I franticly search through the convex parts of my mind
 
hoping to find relief.
 
Abhorrently I find none.
 
The feelings that I worked so hard to get rid of
 
come back.
 
 Memories and faded Love breaks
 
through the barricade I work so hard to build
 
and all that I am abruptly
 
turns into all that I was.
 
 I scream as the memories pierce into
 
the place that took so long to heal.
 
The place where abandonment
 
and pain are still  fresh.
 
The place that once openly held
 
Love, Trust, comfort and......
 
A heart.
 
Now holds nothing but pain sorrow and regret.
 
Alone I am, yet not
 
The memories are here to keep me company.
 
Your promise is here to give me the reminder of
 
your lies and your touch is here to give me pain.
 
Vivid they are, yet so faded
 
each kiss is a bite
 
each touch is a punch
 
each word is fire and ice.
 
But this isn't what angers me the most
 
This isn't what brings all the pain.
 
The fact that you're still here.
 
The fact that despite all my best efforts
 
to Forget you I can't.
 
Despite all the pain,
 
All the lies.
 
What angers me the most is the fact that
 
I still Love you.
 
I forgot how to drag these worthless thoughts

through, broken and grasping fingertips

Just as I forgot how not to Love you.-

Emotions Run Cold

Emotions run cold.

No more over exasperated affection,

this undeniable need to become closer

has long since faded and amity is no longer an issue.

My heart is tired,

my mind is well over thought; 

enabling the demand to love and be loved 

has weakened, paled and diminished
.
This agonizing emotion has run its course.

Breaking away and taking all that doesn’t belong to it.

I'm struggling to hold on to these waves

of disappointment and regret;

sometimes the resentment is too much to bear.

But I know within a stretch of time

these waves that cause me so much misery

will weaken, pale and diminish;

whatever scars left behind will fade into everything else we’ve had

 and I……. will be ok.

Frustrations

My valiant efforts are pushed to vanity

When the expression of love and desire are forced to the surface,

I cannot begin to explain what I want from him

And he will never understand my frustrations.

Where Does She Find Comfort

Where does she find comfort; if not within the warmth and security of her lover’s arms or 

the solace within her bedroom walls, where does she find comfort? When the pain in her 

heart is too great for her to bear who else can she turn to?

Unconsciousness is her last resort. The black reassuring darkness of nothing, no thought, 

no feeling, no worries or wonders. Just peace, relief from life and all the aching agony this world has to offer.

She will sleep and sleep and sleep just until her mind can recover, just until she can face 

the throbbing tenderness that consumes her; she lets her mind drift, she lets her heart 

sleep. Come tomorrow she will be ready to face the world again.

Done

There are no more questions

Her quivering heart is done,

With the lies and inevitable pain.


Her mind is clear of lost love

 And memories. For the first time 

In a long time she can breathe again.
