It’s really you…
The long lost one…
Who left me standing…
Slowly coming undone…
And falling apart…
Body, mind and soul…
Sat in a dark corner…
Losing all control…
Becoming numb…
To the world around…
Not able to function…
Or articulate a sound…
Lost in the darkness…
A depressive whirlpool…
That sucked me under…
Like a love-struck fool…
Who couldn’t see a way…
To get back on track…
Unable to function…
In a world of Black…
Down a rabbit hole…
With no sign of Alice…
Just dark thoughts…
Of death and malice…
And there you are…
Now stood before me…
Without a care…
For my painful story…
Barely recognising…
My haunted face…
And as for love…
There is no trace…
As you left me battered…
Bruised and bloodied…
Incapable of feeling…
Love for anybody…
You broke my heart…
My spirit and my soul…
Without a care…
For what you stole…
Fuck you…

If only that simple epitaph could make us whole again! I’d be “Fuck you-ing” my brains out!
If only indeed!!! Cheers J
I feel this way too much. Nicely expressed…loved the poem.
Thanks Nathan – Much appreciated Cheers J
I am sorry, J, but both the end of the poem and the song made me laugh out loud, even if it was meant seriously. Thanks for a good laugh. 🙂
Glad to have provoked a reaction! Cheers J
Stunning ❤️❤️
Thank you May! Cheers J
😘 xx
Right back at you! Cheers J
What a beautiful poem, heart felt and raw. The song is perfect with this as well. If ever you feel like venting, really venting, Rootless Tree by Damien Rice is a song I listen to …it is the refrain that is powerful…you’ll see when you hear it. Btw, thanks so much for visiting my blog at Stop the Stigma.
Thank you for your kind words – I will check out the song! Think I have only used Damian Rice once in these pages – Cannonball – Cheers J
Have so missed your poems, J…it is just because of the power and ability you have to touch that raw nerve that we had to take a break..our apologies…so glad to be back…this is as always, amazing.
So love a fuck you..even when it hurts. Cheers, all of us

I remember a time when I would have said this was me. Took a lot of effort to get over that one and move one. Very touching words.
move on…. That’s what I get for typing and clicking Post too fast.
Thanks for your thoughts Andrew – glad you made it though! Cheers J
