I am unreal and I don’t feel that I will ever heal
…
Guide me through the night
Without an unpleasant thought
Even if it may mean
That my heart be forever lost
Let me rest my head
Upon your tender lap
And forget all my pain
That comes with this trap
…
I lay in the arms of fire
And you are pouring oil
My ashes will be lost in the wind
Or mixed with soil
…
I am trembling in the cold
You take away my light
I feel so fragile all alone
My bones ache at night
…
And I know the truth is a lie
And all that is good is bad
All that is right is wrong
And all the happiness is sad
It barely matters now
How this will turn out to be
I am in the dark
No light to set me free
…
I am unreal and I don’t feel that I will ever heal
Wow!

I can’t even handle reading anymore of your poetry this morning. Every word is touching my heart and coming out in a tear, but I have to hold it together to get through this other day. Many other days.
Thanks, Frank, for pouring yourself out for others to drink. You’ve inspired me (again).

I was once caught in a destructive relationship like that. The light is all around you. I remembered how to see it, and so will you. It’s always darkest before the dawn. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

Not to be flippant, but antidepressants and meditation have worked wonders for me. That said, perfect poem. Boy do I know that feeling. XO

Blessings, dear heart. Well written, and we all do go through those times. And it does seem sometimes that we will never heal. But somehow, the sun always rises and bit by bit, we do begin to heal.

the feeling is universal. Pain and deep longing are part of losing lie or fearing it . But sometimes you must have one to feel the other.
great poem
