DarqFox Poetry Corner #3

This poem is one that I wrote a few months ago, when life was throwing shit in the fan. But honestly, its emotion is still ringing true to me. And yes, this one is a free-verse poem.

Blind

Perhaps you're ignoring it.
The pain in my eyes.
Perhaps you can't see it.
Just maybe you're blind.
I don't know how to be more blunt. I've screamed as loudly as I can. I've lit signs of bright neon to show you. But my efforts seem wasted.
You can't see how unhappy I am. The pain I'm in. The light repels me like north to north magnets. Your eyes are glazed over with an image of your reality, but I'm not really there. My eyes are clear, but red with insomnia, and dry with tears. There are demons in front of me. They look just like you. And though I can see clearly, I can't tell if they're real.
I take a deep breath. The demons merge into one. You are the demon. The pain in my eyes. And now I can see you. I'm no longer Blind.

Oh my, I can definitely relate to feeling like that...I'm sorry to read it though, I hope you're doing better now, friend.

I'm a bit better now. I won't fully heal from my emotional wounds, but they get better with time and writing. I'll be keeping all my Dark material in my poetry, and out of my prose. Woohoo.

PS: Whoever can tell me who the 'you' is, I'll give you my left lung.

Oh boy.

Is it Puddles? Yourself? Ex-girlfriend?

Pudzies and I have no quarrel. And yes, it's my ex, who turned out to be a fillyfooler. I wouldn't have minded as much if she were my first ex, (also fillyfooler) but that was my second (and most recent) ex, so it was a huge slap to my face.

You just earned my lung. Behold its super-high oxygen capacity.

Also, um I experienced that too...First girlfriend, truly in love with her, breaks up with me to date one of my best friends who was also a fillyfooler. Swell when stuff like that happens, ain't it?

Dayum. Well I may not know you all that well, but if you ever want to talk about anything man you can PM me. I'm always down to help someone who needs it, especially someone as kind and cool as you. I know you may not be interested but I just thought I'd throw the option out there.
