In the Aftermath of Love

A new poem I have been contemplating for a few weeks now. I guess I will find peace in my own way and through my own process. Thank you for stopping by to share my space. God bless. Read on...Witt

I awoke from a nightmare
In the aftermath of love
Devestation all around me
Numb to the feelings
 I once knew to be there
 Heart in pieces
Like some ceramic jar
Broken on the floor
No clear vision,
 Only despair
God help me approach the veil
Just end it anyway
 I don't really care
If tomorrow comes
Life is like eternal darkness
In the aftermath of love.

Feeding on memories
I'm growing old
Waking up cold
Counting the cost of war
In the aftermath of love
Words try to explain
 Meaning in pain
Drying eyes and red clouds
Rage like a storm
Washing away my former self
And I am changed forever
 In the aftermath of love.
