Mind Games At Dawn.

By Anonymous

You’re walls covered in gold,
They will never Erode.

Our love turns into a game,
Where my mind will go insane.

your presence I once desired the most,
Now I only get the visuals of your ghost

My heart turns to mold,
My soul is frozen cold.

My thoughts deceiving,
I am barely breathing.

My heart hardly beating,
What am I thinking?

My life is a boat,
That never stays afloat.

I feared our friendship would wash away,
Even though I never even wanted you to stay.

Where will my mind take me,
When you become my enemy?

A dark place in the ocean,
Where your love turns into a toxic potion.

Why is my mind going crazy?
Everyday my life seems so hazy.

Where did you go?
Your ghost is all I have left to know.

My mind shuts down,
As the sun goes down.

My mind pitch black
Where my memories come to attack

Defeated In this lonely town
Where my memories slowly down.


The author's comments:

A poem I decided to write that talks on how one feels during the loss of a close friendship. A friendship that's toxic, yet makes you feel so warm. We never want the closest people in our lives to leave because we fear what life would be like without them. But once you/or the other person leave, the world just goes pitch black. Everything in life goes downhill, and you no longer remain the person you once were. When that person leaves, the body and mind goes into a what I call a "Blurry Life mode". In this mode, you feel as if life doesn't feel right and nor do you. We overthink, our loving hearts and souls die out, or freeze and mold as stated in the poem, and we go crazy in the mind. Then as time goes by, we wish that person was there in your life, but all you see is their ghost.
