Downfall

I wrote this while i was going through a really hard time with an ex-girlfriend.

Downfall

i can't think like this anymore,
thoughts escape through my mind's backdoor,
i thought the lock was securely in place
but somehow my demons have been released again

what did i do wrong?
how did i let it go on for so long?
i put a wall up in spite of my love
and could not rise above
to let the light of my true feelings shine through

christine, you were my everything
the only good thing in my life
but i let you slip through my fingers,
blinded by the high and seduced by the ease
into watching our relationship spiral into nothing

all this time has gone by
each night, alone in bed i cry
forced to relive the mistakes i can never take back
and wondering how i could be so naive
to think that without effort you would never leave

i need to be over you
must understand that we are through
in spite of my unchanging love
and the things that i wish we could share
forever holding your beauty within my stare

my mind is in overdrive
i can't figure it out, no matter how hard i strive
to find a reason for these lingering feelings
in the end, they will be my downfall

My dear boy, I read only two stanzas of this before pausing to comment. The work is so clearly incredibly personal that you must see that its effect will be lost on those who are not you, who do not know the context and who have read it all before. For us, we must judge it so completely differently that it does no justice to the work for us to read it. Yes, the piece communicates great anguish and pain, but many poems do this. This kind of poetry is but the first step.
