A HOLLOW GRIEVANCE

Alone in the shadows, hidden from all,
the voices, the whispers, they no longer call;
Hidden from my heart these things I loathed,
now stricken from me mysteriously, forever gone;
The visions that once dominated my every dream,
with trickery and mockery of things unclean;
Vanished from my mind and forever my soul,
they no longer torment me with utter control;
And now like a love sick and immortal fool,
I sit here with emptiness and an aching so cruel;
Have I changed without the slight sense of awareness,
transformed from deep within, no longer in anguish;
Have my sweet and perverse demons fled from me,
banished back to the shadows and dark revelry;
I should welcome the peace that has come within,
for which is most assuredly a blessed requiem;
Instead there is hollowness, lacking of great glee,
without these delusionary companions I feel unease;
I can't feel the emotions that should govern my path,
such dullness and coldness is all that I can grasp;
It is as if some great adversity has come into play,
and morbid and perversely to shadows I pray;
Come back to me, my bitter and comforting ghosts,
with your torments and whispers that once made me whole.

I have lived within this state, more times than I can (sadly) count...
A nostalgic piece, most beautifully expressed...
And overwhelming.
