Fathomless
By Sandy Lender
Fathomless pain
And oppressive grief
know I can’t bring you
back out of the ground.
I beg forgiveness daily
for decisions forced upon me.
I fear regret chasing me down
cornering me on cloudy nights
when the last chateau briond
has drained my last emotion
leaving my heart-scatters vulnerable
to careless memories…
What selfish act could have kept
you nearer to me?
I can’t stand your absence any longer.
The fathomless abyss
seeks to blend us again
and tonight’s liquid inhibitor fails me.
Oh, this is so heartbreakingly beautiful, Sandy.
TY, Reena. I’m gonna drink some ice water and put on some rock-n-roll before the next poem. Need to clear out the head space…
So sad.. just where my heart is too.. blessings
I want to put a heart emoji on here for you, jondelb. If you get it, then you need the heart emoji…I’m sending you positive vibes.
To Who I Think I Used to Be
It’s been a while
I may have used to be free
But it’s been a while
To who I wish I could have been
Sit down with me today
I could have been a show of strength
But I faded back to grey
To who I know I’ll someday be
Slow down a touch to see
I may be able to become
A picture-perfect Me
Wow, you perfectly describe the emotions we all go through. Fantastic!
So lovely and so sad
