Poetry: Suffering

Not Seeing You

There is strength in not seeing you
Happy hardness to being alone
Untouched
A certain subtle sadness propping me
Buttressed by a humble knowledge

There is depth to the hollowness
Of my life without you
A lingering slumber of each step
Druggedly mutedly stumbling in stupor
The is no rhythm to our numbness
No oneness to our shame,
But that ecstatic pain
And draining humility
That now defines my strength
The concrete comfort
And solid certainty;
There is something to be said for being alone
Untouched

    If we all drew our lives,
    there would be many holes in our pictures.
    A moth made those holes.
    A moth is
    death and decay.
    A hole

    by Christina Leopardi

    There is no end to suffering
    and so I cannot rest
    my mind is forced to wander
    along the frozen paths of death.
