Analise Rizzo: Poetry
My Theatre of Tragedy by Analise Rizzo
To my friends who, as I, walk this painful road to freedom:
ALL the time,
There is no world,
It has disappeared,
People have become noiseless,
My soul numb,
There are no dreams when sleep comes,
Everywhere I look is bleak,
Time passes slowly as do days
The past is summoned from the subconscious
To haunt my mind
Or cause me to fixate on a moment that
Others would toss away
But it is stuck like a shard of glass in my head.
When each day
Consistently melts into the other
With no meaning,
No sound,
No human contact.
When day becomes night
The date doesn’t matter anymore
Neither does the day
Because everything is a blur
Stumbling around forgetting
Anguish
A word for huge losses
Loss of life,
Loss of time,
Loss of sharing life with others …
Loss of those who just don’t understand
Then leave for something or someone better.
My creativity and edge
Is something I reminisce about,
I still move about and do things
But after a few brush strokes on the canvas
I want to hide in bed
Hoping someone else will finish it.
It’s easier to just be abstract now,
Not concise or on time.
Most days I hang in there
With a sorrow that has invaded my very soul.
I really do feel sick.
Does anything really matter?
The future must matter a little
Because I am still trying,
For what I do not remember
There are no dreams and that’s OK,
Matters not,
There are no friends and that’s OK,
Because it matters not.
My mind is at peace living now this second,
I don’t care about the to do’s anymore
This numb black veil ~ envelope me and hide me,
Until when, it doesn’t matter does it?
Today three months ago
You came like crashing thunder
Breaking through my walls of stone
You came like wide eyed wonder
Into this entire great unknown
Hush now, don’t be afraid
I promise I’ll always stay;
I’ll never be that far away
I’m right here with you
But you went away;
And I could hold you only as oil running through my hands
Now only you’re memories
My spirit; I can smell your innocence … gone
Does it matter?
ABUNDENTLY
