Chaos: The knowledge doesn't lessen the pain

 

Sorrow: It's almost something you don't want to be true

 

Sorrow: You want to be wrong.

 

Chaos: You fight against it.. tell yourself it isn't true

 

Chaos: There has to be a way, you can't love someone that much for that long and not get to be with them

 

Chaos: It just isn't right..

 

Chaos: But it's true. And you may not

 

Sorrow: It haunts you

 

Chaos: Torments you

 

Sorrow: Day in and day out it kills you

 

Sorrow: I know that pain

 

Chaos: As do I

 

Chaos: I've learned to take some enjoyment in the pain in my heart

 

Chaos: The swift tightness in your chest

 

Chaos: the feeling of your heart almost stopping

 

Chaos: focusing on the physical pain keeps me sane...

 

Sorrow: There is nothing wrong with this

 

Chaos: I wanted to be happy once, then I wanted death, now I only want peace

 

Sorrow: Happiness is often over before we even knew we had it. Death is comfort while it lasts. And peace never comes for those that forsook it.

 

Chaos: I know

 

Sorrow: Darkness isn't something to be hidden. It's part of your soul, just like the light, just more raw and full of anguish, anger and pain.

 

Chaos:  I embrace the darkness just as much as the light.

 

Chaos: But I try very hard to protect that light.

 

Sorrow: Sometimes doing the right thing is hard, when people seek to take advantage of you for it, or ridicule you for it.

 

Chaos: Too many people don't know how to be selfless.. to know what it truly means to sacrifice your own happiness, well being and life for another.

 

Chaos: Instead of taking your kindness for what it is. They take it for weakness.

 

Chaos: There can be no weakness where love exists, the very act of loving takes strength

 

Sorrow: Because I am never stronger than when I am hurting.

An indepth look at chaos and sorrow; caused mainly by inconsiderate people. The poem is good especialy explaining the hurtfullness some people feel the need to aim in life, which is a great weakness. It also explains the considerate persons strengths in loving relationships very well. I like your poem very much.
