This poetry may seem negative... but is one of the best ways I have found to cope..... originally wrote this around the 1 year antiversary in 2016... I HAVE COME SO FAR from this person most days....

The Deafening Silence

Silence is golden

Or so it is said

Silence is golden

But not in my head

Silence is killing

Me slowly it seems

Silence is killing me

Along with my dreams

Silence is cutting

As deep as a knife

Silence will kill me

Without all the strife

Talking and sharing

Is all that I crave

Talking and sharing

Is all that might save

Save this mess

That my mind has become

Save me from being

Nothing but numb

ETA.... MORE

9/20/16

More of the Silence

I sit alone and can't cope

More of the Silence

Doesn't leave me much hope

Watching the progress

Steps forward, steps back

Watching the progress

he went so far off the track

And the pain that was rendered doesn't give him much slack

Watching and wondering

and filled with despair

Watching and wondering

Are we beyond all repair?

DEC 2017

I just can't do it

I can no longer see

the person I loved

that person

Who was me

she died,

she is gone....

She tries to fight her way out of the pain and despair

but most days now she doesn't even care

not about anything

there's no love,

no joy,

NO HOPE.

How can anyone expect her to cope?

NO HOPE

just dead.... that's what she wishes...DEATH.....

it would make her pain go away, but she can't give That pain to those she holds dear

Because deep down inside she still loves, her children, her parents, and friends that are true.

the PAIN ... The pain is so strong

It is dragging her down like an alligator pulling her toward death

She's Kicking and Screaming deep in her head

but maybe to others

she's already dead?

The person they loved

The person who loved

she is gone

Gone

GONE

and so f****** tired

tired of the lies

the lie that is love

the lie that is marriage

the lie that anyone cares whether she lives or dies

April 2018...

Hope is a blessing

Hope is a curse

Hope makes you see

That things could be worse

Shouldn't hope heal?

And show us potential?

Shouldn't hope feel

Like we aren't Inconsequential?

Hope may just kill me

As I sit here and wonder

Hope may just be

What sends me deep under

My love feels so foolish

And yet I still cope

My love I still cherish

You have killed most my Hope

Loving feels stupid

Loving feels wrong

Why did I ever

Think it made me feel strong?

It has made me so weak

And scared and afraid

I am such a mess

There's nothing left here to save

I sit here and sob

As he lies there and snores

I'm drowning in pain

And he only seems bored

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to your words. Some of it hit so close that I teared up. Somedays I wonder if this will ever be completely behind me.

Wow .... I usually don't get poems, but I think I get these. Therapeutic for you, and for at least some readers, including me.
