Undesired thinking
Deep in my mind
A thought floats by
Like a leaf drifting in the wind
With no specific destination.
Suddenly it lands,
But it stands in the least desired part of my mind.
It knows I don't want it to linger there,
But it stays anyway.
Harsh pain runs through my heart
A feeling I cannot shake away.
I seek for help,
left and right I look,
but no one is willing to help me.
I struggle to ascend from the dark hole
But the thought pulls me back.
I have no energy to keep fighting,
It takes over.
My body,
My soul,
My heart,
My mind.
All aching in despair.
If only I could’ve been there,
Told him about how grateful I was,
Explain how lucky I felt,
Reminded him of all the good times we went through.
But life is not like that,
Life is not fair,
Because one day
He left.
With no goodbye,
No I love you,
Nothing.
Million of words unsaid,
But I know someday I'll see you again.
And that day
I'll tell you what I really feel.

This piece was inspired by my dad, who passed away a few years ago. We all have unwanted thoughts that we wish we could block out, but sometimes, as hard as we try, we can't.
