Just Today...

What was it that I did today that made it all so different?
That made it so impossible and strange?

What was it that I wounded? and who? and how? and why?
And when i hurt that very heart,
Who made it so pretend?

And what was it that faded,
When I disposed of it?
My heart. my soul, or my essence of it all?

Why did I make one strange predicament the one and very thing,
When I was once profounded by all the colorful things?

What could have made me change it all so much,
When I knew it was the only comfort,
The only ease,
The only absoulute...
The only thing I had?

For now, I have altered the one thing I loved most,
And yet I could have just loved it the way it was before.

It seems as though it's all alright,
Although nothing has changed,
But in my heart I feel the pain brought upon me just today.

salooma: this is very good... i have to say i was disappointed by the outcome though    i thought by the first lines (for some reason) that this was going to be a happy poem... but nonetheless, it's very well stated and i like it... keep up the good work  

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

It may have seemed like it was "Just Today..." but it happens over and over through life. What problems make you weak, make you stronger in the end!
