Instinct

Did you forget what day it is?
Where the road runs to?
Where you left me stranded,
Waiting, wanting you.

Now you return,
Empty, yet with more heartbreak
Full to the brim with sins
And begging for no mercy.

Decisions are impossible in this situation
Going with gut feeling and trying to survive.

The well is drained; run dry.
You've used all my reserves
Starving for attention
Asking for some authority.

Swept the streets of our story,
Ridding it of sorrow;
Cleaning up the past,
Preparing for tomorrow.

I agree

with bL but I don't really understand. the last stanza IS beautiful. it kind of reminds me of Coldplay's Viva La Vida. a beautiful song.. I think this is about an ex, resurfacing. but that's just me. kudos, for beauty and mystery. great poem.. although I'd prefer to understand, I don't have to. :)

Thank you so much Blistered-pen.

I wouldn't say this poem is about an ex, more of my life and all the twisted people I've met along the way... I write in a way that isn't always stone set, there is always room for interpretation.. so feel free to let your imagination run! Thanks for reading my work, and thanks even more for your input, you have no idea how much that means to me! I appreciate all my audience writing their thoughts and am touched that people take out the time to bother reading my scraps of writing. Peace, love, and dreams, Ky~

Hey Ky,

I'm slowly catching up here! Lol. Another STUNNING write from you, dear. You already know I'm a big fan of yours. And this made plenty of sense to me. Perhaps because I have known twisted people in my life. You make these sorts of connections. I don't know exactly what you have been through or exactly what you continue to go through, but I send much love and hugs your way1 And just remember, I am always here if you need a friend and the world gets too twisted for you.
