The clutches of hatred and apathy
slowly drained my soul.
I almost lost the ability
to see beauty around me;
I almost gave up
on things that make me smile
The shards of broken promises
deeply struck my heart.
I almost choke on dark
memories of years past;
I almost drowned from
the deep abyss that is
my sorrow.
Then I started living each day
as it comes and handed reign
over my life to the angels and fairies
of lost loves.
Furtive whispers, I heard;
Let go, the voices chanted,
to which I humbly obliged.
I stretched my whole being and
threw myself to the dark recesses
of the unknown future and waited
for the big splash.
I felt nothing but a gush of sudden
realization that I am still alive despite
the lethal blows of heartaches.
My body began to gloriously tingle
from the warmth emanating
from within.
I am breathing again;
Calm and without restraint.

funny how time and tide waits no man.
therefor time heals all
and the beat goes on......
just when i thought i was lonely, here comes "another one" who had the same feeling. The poem you wrote made me smile even when my heart is bleeding blue. So you see, there is more to being beaten by pain, it's like a precursor to smile more, yes to breathe again.
