If only I could write those words
to describe these haunting thoughts
to give them names, to break the spell
to find a way out of this hell.

This hell, that now I´m living in
was once a fertile land
where my love and passion grew
and lots of other feelings, too.

This fertile land, fueled by your love
is now all grey and dead
just giving life to these damned thoughts
fighting to become my new lords.

If only I could give them names
to call and draw and bind them here
to find the truth behind the pain
and give myself a chance again.

But still they rule my world
and still they know your name
to call and draw and bind me here
in this place, that i call hell.

Sometimes I feel like I have not found the right door to walk thru...where new opportunities and freedom await...like I need to break free from my past to move into my future...James

taramw: Thanks for your reply! I know there are technical flaws in this one but it seemed i just could´nt find the right words (at least that´s what the poem is about ;-)
Sometimes what goes on inside oneself is all so strange ...

Bjorn you have found the words which describe the way it feels to reel with pain and feel as if your often chained to the devil himself. very good.

The words are there, and you made us feel them. Sorry you are going through this hard time. Take care, and remember that someday there will be something or someone good to take you out of the hell.
