dressed up in catastrophe
I’m slipping away
dark clouds are blocking out the sun
all that’s left in the long run
is the slow decay

of neglected catharsis
my most dearly departed
I’m choking on words
that are never adequate
as little by little bit
everything gets blurred

emptiness suffocating me
just another casualty
of sand through fingers
and as the world disappears
there’s no air in this atmosphere
but I still linger

every wrenching memory
acutely extrasensory
one by one they leave
I guess this is the fallout
of a choice to live without
something I can’t conceive [comments] => 6 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 32 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

This touched me and explained my feelings very well. I lost my best little buddy last week. Yes not a human but an Australian Shepherd named Georgia.
The house is now bare and where she laid echo/'/s empty and so does my heart.

I still hear her in the house as my mind has yet to cope with the finality of it all. She was crippled for many years and required extra care but I/'/d gladly do it all over again. Brilliant writing! Thank you!

The sense of loss and despair, so strong in this. Though I love the write, I hope the turmoil that created it passes soon for you.

Such pain and utter devastation. That last stanza hits home.
Even when we know this is the best choice, the results can still
be difficult and enormously sorrowful.

Wonderfully thought provoking, Dee. Great write.

Emotional torture running deep
I feel the pain in your words...

Dark and brooding but so perfectly captures a mood.
I really loved the lines
"Just another casualty
of sand through fingers"
I/'/m always amazed by the power of words.
These are no exception.
