A river of tears flood uncontrollably
An ache of a memory stabs at my chest
Forever afraid of being a prisoner
Locked in my mind, gasping for breath
Dripping with hatred
Saddened by loss
Twinges of jealousy
Wound into a mess
While inner demons,
Oh how they destroy,
The remaining sanity
Of what little was left
Reaching for answers, searching for reason
Mental images mock me with each tear that is shed
Spinning with screams of exasperation
I stop and I wonder… Will it never end?
Author notes
I wrote this while thinking back on a bad decision I made with a guy (jerk). It has caused more emotional damage than anything else in my life, and I'm still trying to deal with things. This poem is about trying to figure out why I feel the things I do.

I completely understand this feeling, and unfortunately have felt it before-
This is really great--I love the emotion and imagery--
