One Day

[Misschelseabun]

One day I'll wake up
and everything won't be
an undulating sequence
of highs and lows,
ebbs and flows.
It will just be normal.

One day I'll wake up
and a room won't form a painful collage
of fading memories,
of complaints about steamed vegetables
or falling asleep in front of endless movies.
It will just be a space.

One day I'll wake up
and I won't feel unwell
at the thought of an unknown foresight
taking my place in the bed
or making you tea with a whistling kettle.
It will just feel constant.

One day it will just feel like a mundane morning,
and I'll go through the motions
until my head hits the pillow.
Repeated addendum
until the fleeting moment when I realise
you have not crossed my mind for days.

And then you'll be gone
like a chill down my spine,
until that next moment in infinite time
when I bring back the memories
of what we once were.
And what we never could be.

I enjoyed the honesty of this poem- it's kind of like a sorrowful revelation.

This epiphany is really something that occurs to us at different intervals and of course we will wake up to different realities and thinking along such lines is quite natural for man is capable of thinking anything and visiting any domains of thoughts, of imagining the unimaginable. This evokes a lot of ideas and the poem, simple, yet enigmatic and I am touched deep down and find this one of the few nice poems I have read of late.

Thank you, that really means a lot. I wrote it last year when I was in the very raw stages of heartbreak, and even now the third and fourth stanzas really mean a lot to me and still ring very true. My poetry is normally a lot more descriptive, but this was really something that came to me in a quite simple way from the bottom of the heart. I guess sometimes the simpler poetry portray the deepest emotions!
