COULD I ..........?

Drunken Thoughts

                 COULD I  ..........?

 

I could,
I Should.
I would,

I’d tremble. 

    
It’s time for me
No longer will I cry.
For now, the tears have                                                   
The men I knew

 

All, too long ago. 
All laid to rest.
All have died.

All my ghosts

 Have gone away.
They sleep the sleep,
Both night and day.

My turn, has come

Of this I know
Perhaps in hell 
I’ll burn?
 
My wings
Once proudly earned
Some what tarnished? 
While robins sing
 
Where now
He hails triumphant
The smouldering feathers
I bid farewell.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written in a wildly sober period of the night & day.
You tell me what it all

Such haunting bad memories that make you cry unless you can quarrantine them in a little pocket of yourself that makes part of your heart brittle. I know the feeling of NOT CRYING ANYMORE. That's worse than the tears because it means you've passed a barrier that most never pass. My pain was caused from an abusively drunk ex-husband. Alcoholic and verbally homicidal. He killed me inside. I'm beginning to live again now. I hope you can too.
