Damn Dolor
(One of 30 -- NaPo/GloPoWriMo 2019)
Damn Dolor
Finally towel'd out the wet from
my face and spiritual heart --
most often a suture to keep in
blood, grief...........healing
I've been trying to close out
all the yesterdays that
seemingly serve no purpose
other than reminders
of painful loss.
Damn haunting memories
keep getting in my way;
i realize people come and go
liken to a picture show.
They enter and i get to
love them in the beginning.
However, there's always
an ending.
Usually, for me
the ending is achingly
terminal and i am the
lucky one who gets
to stay...........
I don't believe in luck;
I must be damned.

Look at an end as a new beginning, we all have them, scale the mountains and then look at her beauty.

It's those who remain who always feel the agony of being left behind. I feel this deeply in regards to my father. Beautiful aching poem

I imagine this is felt by many a one who has experienced loss and is still here
left to carry on.
I'm sorry it's relatable
thank You for sharing, though

Those who stay are the strongest, Tallen. They face the circumstance alone.
Well done.
Well done.

I realize i MUST be strong
though most often i feel so weak
but perhaps what i perceive as
weakness is really sensitive
thank You for the encouraging comment
and kind praise
Honored for the RL add

as tho its unpalatable
such a powerful write, tallen

Treasure and focus on the good memories and events and try to let go the rest, it helps, and meditation is sometimes good for catharsis too. I feel you and your pen. Good read for my evening! <3

Hey. This is remarkable stuff. You honor the NaPo name by bringing this A Game.

Damned if that ain't poetry.
