A Cry For Help

I miss smiles that hurt without any pain
 and the gentle kiss of laughter.
A version of me that exists only in memory
 I feel shackled by the knowledge.
I miss words that danced from cheek to tongue 
 Out into a world that no longer hears the words i say. 
I pray, 
One day, I will be strong enough to say. 
Enough.
I miss nights where sleep was a loving friend
 We'd dance and talk the whole nights end. 
I miss love that was love and not just the pretence
Not, not being in love just feeling the feelings. 
I miss loving myself and letting love in. 
If I do say enough
 Where do i even begin?
I am a shell of what is me,
  That misses himself dearly,
    Every.  Single.  Day.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Without knowing your circumstances I know how you feel. I have my own struggles I’m trying to work through. I don’t see an end to mine but I hope you can find your old self again. Terrific write.
