I feel the thunder before it comes
Breaking on my ears like the lash of a whip
Your words, crazy and dark
I fear the bright days of your disposition
The tan of my skin gleaming warmth you put there
A lazy love filled smile
Trapped here with you in hell
Swallowing every facet of what I used to be
And I’ll stay forever
Or at least until you no longer need me
Then I will walk away and never look back
Upon those words
Never look back upon the whiplash emotions
The back and forth anger and joy that lifts me up
And slams me down
The hopelessness that walks when you’re bad
And the fake smile that walks when you’re good
Those companions with me
The hate and love that makes me cry
Like a child I bawl in confusion about who you are
One moment to the next

I agree with them... I could totally relate to this one...
"Never look back upon the whiplash emotions
The back and forth anger and joy that lifts me up
And slams me down" ... my fav stanza... good job...
I'm with J J on this. We have all felt this way. It's past my bedtime, but for the moment, I'm going to keep reading. Perhaps I'll save this poem for those nights when I feel like having a good cry.
I need to have a lie down in a darkened room and cry my heart out thru my eyeholes...
Rampant sadness and undying love from deep within..
And SUCH SKILL in conveying those emotions..
Really connected with this one.. Reminds me of a similar time.
