Revisiting the Past

In accordance with the pact with Terrald(in which we both agreed to put up some of our old writing in hopes it would inspire new thoughts), I am posting some of my older pieces. So you may comment, if you wish, or just read and enjoy....or mock....your choice. :D

This first piece is....not on the happiest note. But I do love the way it came out.


Release

I left him blankly wandering there,
One lost soul.
People stop and stare,
But all they see is a shell.

Face unmoving, eyes unseeing.
Unable to bring
A stop to his grieving,
I watched as he slowly fell.

On bended knee, I sat pleading.
Begging him
To stop this needing.
To let her go in peace.

With one blank stare he sent me reeling.
Loss of breath
And loss of feeling.
Empty, to say the least.

I wonder if he still lingers there,
Pale thin skin
And matted hair.
One lost and empty soul.

Praying for release.



It's interesting...In looking through my older writing, I am thinking about the phases of my life when I wrote it. And it makes me profoundly happy to be able to look back, and know that I am in such a better place now. It's amazing how things change, isn't it? How much difference a year can make.
