paralyzed


A
feeling of being lost haunts my days
I don't recognize the places I've been many times before
Faces I see everyday slip away from my memory
I find it hard to accomplish even the simplest of tasks
Like I don't remember how to do them anymore...
It's an amnesia of the weird sort
I alienate myself to everything,
just not to obsess about your absence
But it remains the only reality in the end...

a lesson learned


He was just like a sickness
Requiring bitter medicine to cure.
I took my pills of pain and anger,
Wrapped myself in thick blankets of
posed indifference,
And went on seeing him as normal,
for vaccination.

I must have been very weak in the first place
to catch him like a nasty cold.
And very stupid indeed,
to allow him to take control.
But he never saw me suffering,
not a single complaint did anyone hear.
So now I am cured,
and this is
a lesson learned...
