Unanswered

Enlighten me as to why
Your love seems unkind.
Envelope within embrace for
Sanity seems so very distant.
Only you have what I seek,
For the answers are within you.
Answers that could release me,
Never questioning the reason
As to why I am left to suffer.
Never have I felt more alone.
Ghosts of yesterday whispering
Elluding me from the present of
Lies, broken dreams and death.

    Now is it your sanity or his? See I'm automatically assuming it's a him. The ghosts of yesterday are always going to whisper to us. It just matters how much we let them affect todays decisions. Very poignant piece writer. I like it very much. Thanks for entering and good luck.

      Well in a sense it is a him. Really addressing God and the things he sometimes leaves us to deal with...and wondering why? Facing ones mortality does play some strange tricks on ones mind and sanity...Thank you for the time and the comment and for the contest. I have been in a rut lately and this just came to me.

    I like the first two lines the most, they really make you think about the question. I personally relate to that alot right now, so maybe that's why...

    This is an excellent acrostic, though everything you write is excellent! Really. (in my opinion)

    And what can I say, I can't imagine the frustration, people say the answers are simple, and maybe they are and just so hard to find? This could be a spiritual write from a perspective, or maybe it is, but it also has elements of a broken relationship, a selfish and inconsiderate person...a matter of interpretation I suppose. There is an eery calmness while you read.. You did well with the ending, it really sums up the body of the poem and allows us to feel the darkness.

    ♥ Excellent ♥
