The ache returns
poem

The ache returns

It's starting again 


The fear, the anxiety, the pain 


The longing without passion


The emptiness 


The desire without a spark, without a fire 


The endless worry and the silly doubts 


The confusion 


The uncertainty of what I feel 


The ache in my heart that tells me something is wrong 


The excuses I give myself to bury the ache


It's starting all over again and I'm getting weaker 


Not as strong as before 


I'm scared, afraid 


I don't think i can do it all over again 


The weight is heavier, my body, heart and soul can't take it 


That sound, the sound of my own heart beating the warning tune


Should I ignore it again?


Would i be scarred again if I do?


The loneliness even when surrounded by my thoughts 


It's back again 


The dreams, the filtered reality i don't want to believe 


The sudden coldness but still alone covered in sweats 


The mood swings that sways like a pendulum, endlessly pulled in two opposite ends 


I hate when I feel like this


I don't want to feel like this 


I want to scream but can't find my voice 


I'm held by that one person but the touch bites into my skin


I don't know what to do or feel


All i know is...


I hope it ends fully this time 


So i can be free again
