Half of A Pair

Depression lurks in the back of your mind,
a gaping emptiness devoid of soul.
Feelings clash, often becoming unkind,
as total sadness envelops you whole.

As encroaching walls get harder to bear
you seek romance in the pages of a book.
Memories of laughter echo silent there,
yet your misery deepens and you feel forsook.

Spurned by love anxieties start to climb,
you're alone and will be forever it seems.
You feel trapped and running out of time,
as disappearing hopes scatter your dreams.

Your quest for love has tested your soul,
your heart’s ignored and cast aside by fate.
Struggling inside, feelings fight for control,
you’re devastated for lack of a mate.

Abandoned by a love you sought to share,
you're left with pain and feelings of dread.
Always alone, only half of a pair,
loneliness causes years of tears to be shed.

His Name is Pain

His name is pain
He comes unexpectedly, abruptly...
He creep inside the dark room where you sit alone facing the window, reminiscing the past.
He lingers on you pillow, on you sweater, as the scent that stabs you right on the chest.
He is the cold air during the rainy season. Slow cold breezes that freeze you heart.
He is at every place, in every song, on every faces. Reminding you of the past. Torturing your every thought. Shattering your every hope.



His name is pain. He's not letting you go.
