Theme: Angst

Anchor

Yesterday...
Holding your hand
I was
Reaching for the stars.
The sparkle
In your eyes
Unleashing
Within me
A blitzkrieg
Of creativity.

Your vulnerability
Giving me strength,
Your concern-
Courage.

My love,
You were
My anchor
Keeping me
Emotionally afloat.

Today...
The dying embers
Of my angst
Explode into
A million flames,
As the mutilated images
Of our
Ravaged love
Flash
Before my eyes.

My scars
Turn into
Bleeding wounds
As I lie
On the pyre
On my splintered
Hopes.

My incarcerated
Dreams
In a limbo
Groping
For actualization.

Tomorrow...
Your memories
My crutch
Helping me
Hobble along
To keep
My tryst
With
Extinction.
