I never understood before

I'm in a rare sharing mood...

Here's a poem that I wrote once upon a time:


The sweetest memories of you
come to me like nightmares...
An overbearing shadow
driving me to a madness so sick
no vaccine could ever prevent
...Leaving me crying
in a perpetual darkness
not even the brightest star
can illuminate this abyss
I'll spend seemingly endless moments
longing for your gentle touch
and sweet smell
I could spend forever searching for that solace
that you once gave me.

I don't share most of my poetry with anyone. I don't know what brought on this mood.
