What Happens

by Timothy   Aug 31, 2004


What happens,
When your grief is huge;
When your clenched fists ache,
The tears you cried have formed a deluge.

What happens,
When you have pushed everyone away;
When you feel nothing but loathing,
You can't make things right with the words you say.

What happens,
When the tears no longer come;
When there is not a heart inside, only an empty shell,
The listless wandering has left the world around you numb.

What happens,
When it is an irreversible state;
When you can't deal with anything,
Because it's yourself that you hate.

    "You can't make things right with the words you say"

    I feel this everday-Secrets I have only spoken about in my poems. If i told them they would never be right-things would never be the same.

    What happens,
    When it is an irreversible state;
    When you can't deal with anything,

    -Going threw that right now actully. I don't know if this poem touched a piece of me I didn't want to be touched. But i'm almost in tears right now just thinking of what you wrote.

    And yes you were right about my poem and my grandmother she has alztimers and i have regret because i can't get enough courage to visit her because i'm to weak. Thanks for reading it and commenting.....
