136The flames have abated,The storm dissipated,A numb quietude falls at last.The roaring and quakingAnd pounding and shakingHas finally calmed and moved past.Though black clouds have driftedAnd dense fog has lifted,The struggles within are not gone.Lethargic and listlessAnd empty and restless,The most painful part: moving on.rachel worleyRegret137All but forcing a smile,Faking laughs for a while,Pretending the mirth to be true.But inwardly hollow,The thoughts of grief followThe most troubling part: pushing through.When the past goes awayAll the memories stayTossing and churning with woe.How can moments of gladness Be recalled with sadness?The most difficult part: letting go.These times have brought gainsFull of torment and painsAnd moments of grief without lack.If but time could have stilledBefore bliss had been killed.The most hurtful part: looking back.
