Endless Despair Poem by Jessie Stowers

Looking from afar,
Would be better than this torture.
Glancing at the stars,
Wishing for past order.

Can't miss what I never had,
But you were all mine.
Not a single comrade
Can compete with your bloodline.

No one compares to you,
To how you've changed me.
It all happened as if on cue,
You never heard my dying plea.

I still scream and cry,
The anger wells up inside.
Inside I quickly die,
In you only could I confide.

What in the hell happened
To suddenly change the roles?
In our love I was fastened,
Two intertwined souls.

Now we're both broken,
Can't find a reason to hang on.
I wish for the comfort of a coffin,
No longer wishing to see dawn.

You were everything,
There are still places I can't go.
I'm so tired of the aching,
Are you friend or foe?

Doesn't it count for anything,
That you know me inside and out?
I'm dangling by a string,
Going through an emotional drought.

I'm the choice-less puppet,
So who is the mastermind?
Locked in a tiny closet,
Endlessly wishing to rewind.
