with every snore
he cuts
deeper into my
bleeding
shadow
---
so
my punishment
is living
within
the life
i created
---
it is
a disquieting
feeling
when you realise
the reason for
all your sorrow
are the choices
you fought for
that you're
now
stuck with
---
"i bare my heart
he casts a sleepy eye,
i choke behind tears
he looks at his mobile phone,
i say i lost 10% of my soul
he gets ready for bed,
i apologise for my behaviour
he falls asleep"
opposites
don't
attract.
---
justice
is a lie
that your stupid
heart
convinces your
brain into
believing
---
my life
is simple:
LED light,
laptop,
a book,
unhappiness,
and
his snores
echoing
in my
empty heart

Did you write all of this? It is so good! yet so very saddening...
Some of those were such startling reflections of my own thoughts. Incredible.
Congratulations, Doctor :)
Sometimes poems that shock people as being so sad and depressing are the best written. Yes, these are sad, but honestly, they are a good window into your psyche when alone in front of your LED light and laptop.
I love the line:
"justice
is a lie
that your stupid
heart
convinces your
brain into
believing"
The line breaks emphasize the feeling. Well done!
I have missed your poetry. Now that I am back and reading/writing, I will be visiting again. Keep up the good work!

Gosh, thanks alot of these comments :) Yes, these are my writings..usually derived from a rather over-dramatised interpretation of real life situations :))
Non-Sensei: Long time! Hope you're well, and congrats!
