Denial Poem by Gwen S M Torres

shaking the head vigoriously
sweeping it for painful memories
gathering thoughts and recollection
throwing away the remains of yesterday

never leaving footprints behind
closing the duct for tears not to flow
enjoying the company of one's self
for once feeling lost in the abyss

crying in the night when others sleep
knowing it will never come to conquer
feeling helpless and alone...
regretting... losing... grieving...
