Muddled

Muddled

The events of these recent days
A frightening mix that will abrase
happiness once there
A crushing blow
that dulls the glow
and emotions are laid bare

Abstract havoc in my head
Manifesting in explosive dread
Where is the opening?
A way outside
That can provide
My sanity is beckoning

Two heads in a collision
Distorting one’s vision
The direction has been lost
Communication inconsistent
An approximation insufficient
When stars have been crossed

    Your words convey so much of pain Christine. I hope you are well.

    miscommunication or no communication can result in some bad outcomes, you explore this feeling so well Christine

    Great use of the prompts … hoping this is fictional, it’s so realistic 🙂

      Thanks Kate. Most of my writing is from experience but I take poetic license every now and again, particularly with regard to sex slavery and prostitution . They exist and I write about it for awareness 🙂
