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

Really expressive – great poem!
Thanks Sam! 🙂 I’m happy you liked this poem
Your words convey so much of pain Christine. I hope you are well.
Oh thank you my friend. A couple of not so easy days but all is very well. You know how that goes ☺️
Yes, indeed and I am glad to know that. You are so welcome. 🙂
You are so sweet to care 💕
❤️
miscommunication or no communication can result in some bad outcomes, you explore this feeling so well Christine
Thank you my friend Gina 🙂
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 🙂
good for you, great cause to advocate for 🙂
