I am Numb Your sickly lit eyes of fury glazed with hatred and pain washing over me and all I am,...all I was. Inside my broken shell you see the frozen flesh of all I was the lack of flow you've created. Your filthy hands strike a chord of mortality your lack is to blame,... your lack of sanity. You've lost it,...you've flown the coop. You've grown fur and claws and taken on the role of wilderness in the fight for survival. I am your victory,...your prize trophy. Your scraps of a war you won. A pile of rotting remains. A mound of reeking excess. Lifeless and ever numb to your control, taken like a true fighter,... I smile through all your ugly, through all this fight and fury. A moment of opportunity was lost in an instant when the window appeared there and open,...but it was all a hopeful illusion. There was no escape,...there won't be. I am but a heap of scraps from your fight for your own survival... to fill up your belly with all the things you needed and take all I needed and wash them down the river with your blood stained clothes,... your cigarettes that burn,... your fire...your flame. I am but the remains of your fight. Your prize trophy of a victor. A true hunter of the night. You the hunter,...I the hunted. Am left here to observe from above the fireplace where the ashes of all I was fill the floor with my dusty remains.... blowing and casting themselves upon you blinding you from seeing any light. You'll die this way,... alone with nothing but your rot. You will always deserve nothing more than the worst case scenario. I am numb.

God kid. I do hope things are ok?? you have expressed a great inner anger here, not just loss but out right hatred, for what/who ever. Let it go kid. it will eat you up. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

"A moment of opportunity was lost in an instant when the window appeared there and open,...but it was all a hopeful illusion." Simply RIVETING!!!!! Had me on the edge of my seat reading it! Great stuff! And boy do I know all too well what you mean by your above line from this fine piece of poetry. I have had that illusion way too many times, given up.......then the hope would rise.....only to crash again. Keep up the good work. I loved it! |

~Isis, Joel, and Illusion,..thank you for taking the time to read this. I started writing this and to tell you the truth...after the first couple of lines I was in a daze...with blank eyes,..letting my emotions and fingers go.....they went to work and this is what they produced. A very painful memory and still very real feeling of a man I was born to. This all just poured right out of me. I sat back after and read it and was in shock of how it came out. Gosh,..it's still too real and bitter to taste. This here is a depiction of my nights for a long long time in my life. *Sigh*,..thank you for reading and replying. *Peace. |

The feelings that flow through our pens can amaze us all Spitfire. . . But they do help the heart to heal. . . Excellent my friend. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
