Between the conscious and the unconscious
Unconsciously conscious
You wonder to and fro
Trying figure out what there is to know
In search of the illusive show
But then again what do I know…
About the hidden abyss?
Certainly you won’t find any bliss
Because it is hidden between your lips and a kiss
And your love is that song
Now you are disturbed
Because love is NOT what you have
And you search the four corners of your mind
Seeking the memories that are hiding in plain sight
As you go on a merry-go-round
Feeling all tied N’ bound
As you love the memory of a memory
Sorry tis’ your story
There ain't no glory
In loving a love that isn’t there…
Have you ever?

Crying for what was, once upon a time. Finding it hard to move forward, to let go. Trapped in a memory of what used to be. Waiting and hoping.. Searching for what will never be yours.
ReplyDelete'Loving the memory of a memory. Loving a love that isn't there...'
WOW. To be locked in by such pain!
At this point it would be best to lock yourself indoors, cry your eyes out and allow yourself to feel all that pain, all the while listening to Leona Lewis' 'Better in time':
ReplyDeleteIt's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Thought I coudn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
I forgot to add:
ReplyDeleteSince there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
Definitely appropriate.
All of this I have felt and more.
ReplyDeleteyes!
ReplyDeletethankfully not all @ the same time
maybe some of it now...
Man oh man.....
ReplyDeletehmmmm, loving a love that isnt there....shit I gotta go post!!
ReplyDeleteIm so stealing that!!!
Very deep,profound and very real. This poem speaks volumes and gives a voice to so many people for one reason or the other are hung up on a past love or a past relationship or even for those who somehow were in love with someone but it was not reciprocal.
ReplyDeleteThere comes a time when in the interest of self preservation and to live your best life that you need to free yourself of the past and of these feelings.Though this maybe challenging,it is necessary, so GO AHEAD AND FREE YOURSELF!!!!!
