Calm frayed nerves, the tryst is ended,
Start breathing again, stay focused.
You know what you want,
You know exactly what you want,
But how to get it, how to get there?
How do you begin?
Stop reminding yourself that's it's left foot, then right,
Stop reminding yourself how to walk,
She can't see you stumble.
She can't see your inner tears of remembered loss.
She can't see how much you yearn to embrace her,
To feel her heat, entwined hearts rejoicing
Each other's return.
Tell yourself it's only a lifetime
Before you'll ever feel this way again.

exquisitely painful
Ouch....I always preferred to ease the bandaid off a little at a time....now, see....it's started bleeding again. I'm sorry for your pain...I'm sorry for mine too. I wish I could kiss each of our "ouchies" and make them all better. But, that only works up until you're three...and only on the visible damage. But, here's a hug
anyway...it might not make it all better...but, maybe it will make it some better. Thanks for sharing...even though it hurt....your poetry is, as always, flawless.

good
interesting. I like this poem. Very nice. -
This reminds me of all the time i spend analyzing my life... this almost feels like two poems to me. Being that you begin talking to yourself, about yourself... then it flips to talking to yourself about her...
I really love those last two lines :-) I'm really enjoying your work,

very interesting poem, Pilate, and well narrated to self. It had the natural rhythm of sincerity, and I could identify with large portions of it.

Internal monologues are very healthy...if the opposing sides
balance one another out...
This was such a bittersweet write...with a soul seemingly
splashed across the page. You ended it with perfection
Enjoyed muchos...

mmm~~So I'm not the only one
who talks to my self~
We even have disagreements~my self and I~
But being the strongest of the two~
I always win~~~~
Facing rejection is so painful~
Thinking that one shall never feel love again~
Is so lonely~So lost~
I really loved the way you expressed it here~
A wonderful if sad write~
Always Smile~~Emma

Interesting poem! I've never done a "pep talk to myself" before, but I see how you are giving yourself courage to face rejection, even if it's something you don't want. Not that I don't know how that feels. It sucks to be rejected by anyone. Some are so lovelorn that they will accept anyone--lowering their standards in the process--just to say that someone loves them. That is the result of the absence of self-esteem not built up at home. I wonder if confident people have this conversation with themselves often? Might seem so. Anyway, you did wonderfully here.
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora
