At Both Ends

Posted on April 21, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
You and I were weary of enduring treachery at both ends;
I'll ask you to do nothing but sit
witnessing the conclusion
and he'll be my ruin.

My Cry

In vain I cry
where is he?

I send my cry
hoping
it may reach you.

Gray Dream

Posted on April 21, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
The night came.
I sat alone my gray dream gathering.
I see him in the ghost of it - 
my sweet transcendent pain.

Under these circumstances,
I remain solitary.

It Grew Dark

Posted on April 21, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
It seemed a long while,
days of his absence.
No signs of his coming, and it grew dark.
it's as dark as if it came from the devil.
Nobody could understand.

Flooding in the Unhappy

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
In vapid listlessness
eyes closed, but not rested.
It was a state of dilapidation -
at least, of detached interest
within me.
I had been flooding in the unhappy.

Phantom Grief

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Dancing slowly to the ruined music,
phantom grief
and long drawn gloom.

One Sunday Afternoon

Posted on April 12, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Those first rumours
of his affairs,
I went over one Sunday afternoon.
I was startled,
realizing that he is a stranger.

I Did Not Love

Posted on April 11, 2020October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
It was marvelous to discover
that I
did not love.
I dare say, I seemed
all tenderness before you:
But the depth of the absurdity - of genuine idiocy,
that I could love.
I have avoided this.

Extract My Heart

Posted on April 11, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I fear another betrayal
should be the last.
my journey was sadder than I could put down,
my history, dree, and dreary!
And not exactly a kind which I should have chosen
but never mind!
I'll extract my heart
and I'll continue whole.
