SAD POETRY

On The Other Side Of Hells

Life can be hell, but there is another side once you get through those periods.

On the other side of hell, there is no reprieve
It’s hard to unring that bell
When all you’ve done is make me grieve
I stare into space and fight back the urge to scream and yell

Knowing now that I’m sorry would never be enough
But sinners shouldn’t throw rocks in a glass house
My sin, letting things get too far gone before standing tough
Your sin pushed me away, and it did what it does when you act like a mouse

Little details matter to some of us in the world who have dreams
A true partnership is one that I never felt during our time in the sun
Maybe neither of us had it figured out, or that’s how it seems
Things we should have discovered before our story had begun

You didn’t want to do life alone, or so you’ve continually said
Was that all I was to you, my friend
Now, the sun dims on our world, I tried to build, feeling it’s nearly dead.
And time with the one that made my heart beat better has come to an end
