Separation

by Nebula   Oct 11, 2007


Separation is like saw ripping heart from limb.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!
What do I do?
How do I loose you and keep myself...

What about their little hearts?
How will they understand that mom and dad can not be,
but that the universe still revolves around them?
Will they cry at night and blame themselves? Beautiful, precious souls...

I'm drowning in my own tears.
Lost.
Will the sadness make me stronger? Will it truly?
The Thousands are crawling through every part of me.

I can not see right from wrong,
indecision like a daemon hounds me every minute of every day,
he breaths down my neck and claws at my heart.
I can smell his foul breath surrounding me, enfolding me in darkness...

When will I breathe again?
When will fresh morning air fill my lungs and turn my head to a clean sunrise.
Will fresh dew on crisp clear grass ever touch my feet again.
Will I ever have separation?

    This is truly a wonderful poem. I love the wording, the style, the images, but I can really relate to the message and the deep, powerful emotions you've evoked. You have really captured the pain and sadness so perfectly. Having been through the trauma of divorce and the worst was feeling like I lost my daughter (luckily I got custody when she was 12 yrs.), I can definitely relate to this piece. At first it was rough but it was really a blessing as it allowed me to find myself again. If this is based on a real happening, rest assured, though it may take a little time, it will make you stronger and you will definitely breathe again, but with a new exhilarating breath upon a fresh wind of a new day. This poem really brings back a lot of memories and emotions. Very well written and so eloquently expressed.

    Peace, Poetry & Power,
