It’s a cold stabbing feeling that holds your body so tight in its grip that you feel your life slowing down. It all seems to be a blur and pointless now. <br /> <br />It seems worthless. How do you leave? How do you stop loving yet you have loved all your life? It seems pointless. Love is too harsh and I cannot try anymore. <br /> <br />I don’t want to feel anymore. I don’t want to feel anything anymore! <br /> <br />I seem to be constantly lost in a daze between two places that I wish to forget. I need to be free, but how do I break the curse that haunts me? <br /> <br />I seemed bound to an unwanting reality where present time has no meaning of love. I feel lost here. Love does not grow here nor does it lay in gentle and peaceful embrace of its image. <br /> <br />I stood in the darkness hoping to see my reflection in the mirror, but I knew I was not there. <br /> <br />I lost myself. I had forgotten everything I had and refused to believe what I have become. <br /> <br />Maybe it’s best I don’t see myself because it will mean that I will have a soul.<br /><br />Melvyn Mohan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/close-14/
