I laugh, I laugh but at night the demons [inside me] escape in my tears. Others see only the irascible side, from the swirling black cloud inside me. But they don't know how it got there. I wasn't born this way. The swirling blackness grew, bit by bit. Each year people threw more rocks into the swirling black abyss and it grew; bit by bit. I should be okay now, and I am. Your love is healing me one brick at a time. I have nothing to complain about. But the swirling blackness is still not gone. It will take a long time to completely disappear. I laugh, I laugh. But at night the demons escape in my tears. |
Copyright ©2019 Ashi Shadow - 8/24/18 - Actually the date is unknown. It is clearly influenced by "I dreamed a dream." The Lines "I should be okay now" and several lines after that were ones I was not totally satisfied with. Still, I am satisfied with the poem overall. I am not certain who the poem is on. I think it is on a woman who was not in my life for very long. Looking at this in 2020, I would guess the poem might be inspired by Aishwarya. After checking the date of a poem on her, the date range seems close enough that this guess is likely correct.
