Conflicting Emotions
June 2, 2015
I should have serenity
The decision was finalized months ago
I should finally feel untroubled, at peace
Why do I feel this nagging feeling constantly?
My happiness faltering by day
Easing up only to intensify
Everyday he imprisons my thoughts
The memories lingering in my head
Absorbed in a trance, captivated by the past
I’m unsettled by these feelings
If I try to erase these thoughts plaguing my mind, will I reach tranquility?
What if my methods fail?
I’m left pensive about my decision
