Oblivion. Sought in cheap whisky
Found
That hazing
But temporary
Like the innocence of ours

Warmth. A friend I hold to me
Bound
But fading
Like memories
Like the brilliance of stars

Sisters of my torment
Hurt and time
A departed lover's scent
Enveloping. Devine.

Circumstances freshly made
Fistfuls of tear-soaked sheets
The hope that pain will fade
A comfort scantly sweet

I'm sure you managed to get through it all right.

Cheers ;-)

But thankfully those are feelings from the past, not the present :-)

I hate it when people don't qualify their poems as being in the past, so I redid my first comment

Feelings... some how they make things so complicated.  Keep it up.

Pain well described poetically.
