A Poetic Memoir Of My Journey Through Life

When I Fell


When I fell, you observed…

with weary melancholic eyes

and a tattered tired soul

that one devastating lie kept me blind.

When I fell, I broke…

shattered to shards…to bits.

reality wavered… forgotten…

in a sudden flash I lost all grip.

When I fell, you grinned.

Karma found its way back around to me…

Devastating…ravaging… horrifying

Was the lie ever real to you like it was to me?

  5. Hers is the heart where the dagger still sticks
    Piercing the flesh with no chance to fix
    It

    Hers is the soul in pieces- born new
    While blood runs from skin that the blade punched
    Through

    Hers is a mind which we all adore
    Battered and bruised and trapped behind the
    Door

    This sinking feeling- why do I know it?
    It’s like I’m falling but can’t yet show it
    She says it’s okay but I see in her eyes
    When that monster shouts
    A part of her dies

    Thanks for the inspiration, and for sharing another beautiful, sad poem, Bipolarmuse… <3

    I must be in a somber mood today. I was going to write an answering poem filled with hope to refute the darkness and it just ended up lamenting it instead. For shame!

    Oh well. Enjoy anyway, I guess?? <3 I couldn't think of a title.

    <3s,
    Eris

    • I absolutely love this poem you put here… you have such a wonderful gift… Sad is usually how I roll but I too try to followup with something lighter. ♥ Good to hear from you Eris.

  6. Muse, yet again you knock me over with your raw and powerful text. It’s passionate and wild but at the same time, artistic, exquisite. You are a writer.
