600 ~ Beside Myself Poem by stan pelfrey

never thought I would
be here...inside myself,
beside myself...
questioning every decision
every thought that lead to
what I've become, begun...

all events colliding at once...
a Big Boom of the Soul...
explosions one after another...
no quiet time to reflect...
dwelling on backfires, treacheries
and betrayals...

why was I blind to what
stared me in the face?
My focus only on one
reality, but
the murk in my eyes
clouding the future...

'Miss you, ' he said
to her, but
all was broken, when she
said back, 'Love you.'
