No Luck and Lost Dreams
 |
| photo by Dana Dampier |
Falling short of attaining my dreams
Of you
Of everything
… and my heart breaks
Over and over
Every time I speak to you
Or even let you slip into my thoughts
… and my heart breaks
Over and over
Every time I speak to you
Or even let you slip into my thoughts
Blaring reminders
Of thunderous failures
So now I sit...
Bleeding ink and crying tears
That no one will ever see
Alone
As I've always felt
Because no one has time for this
But me...
And even I ignore my pain
So now I sit...
Bleeding ink and crying tears
That no one will ever see
Alone
As I've always felt
Because no one has time for this
But me...
And even I ignore my pain
When unescapable
No matter if I'm incapable
So forward I push...
So forward I push...
Trudging
Trusting
That one day
My luck will change
Trusting
That one day
My luck will change

that hurt our ears and gnaw at our hearts :(
Yes, it's hard to deny that we all make mistakes, but sometimes I think mistakes come looking for me! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteThat was so heartfelt. A beautiful photograph also pulls the power in your words...
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sometimes it's hard to find the words that match the feelings in your heart!
DeleteSo sad when you lose someone or when your hopes regarding the person are dashed. </3
ReplyDeleteDown the road, I find that maybe it was for the best. In the moment though... everything seems lost! Thank you for stopping in!
DeleteI love the heaviness and then the shift to a light hope towards the end. Really good.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I periodically go through dark moments, but I've always been able to keep moving towards the light!
DeleteAlone
ReplyDeleteAs I've always felt
Because no one has time for this
But me...
This really resonates. It is the feeling of being alone that hurts the most!
Absolutely. It's when we are alone that we can't deny the feelings, hurt, and pain we feel. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteAnd may it change! The helplessness and vulnerability reaches out.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely pic.

ReplyDeleteHow else to grow full hearts without yearning and loss? The pain etched so fully here grows roots that will flourish.
