The Day I Learn To Write Again Poem by Gilbert Tapales

I never thought that i will end up this way
Alone again
The feeling that I hate
Continuing life
Sadness surrounds me

I wake up every morning having this regrets
The stabbing pain in my heart
Sudden rush of memories in my mind
The pain clings
My eyes stings

I cried
Streams of tears drenched my face
This feeling that I held back too long
Escaped and overflow my heart
The madness of emotions

The alcohol can't numb it
No one can numb it
Nothing can numb it
I was too dumb to allow it
I decided to sleep

I woke up the next morning
Alone again
The feeling that I hate
Continuing life
Sadness surrounds me
