Her Name
And Lost Pennies
Her name was Eloise
or Adeline
He dreamt of her
most all the time
Never imagined the brutal war
going on inside his mind
Raging emotions
gunfire and bombs
Exploding around
his devoured calm
Cold sweat, hard breaths
though no real harm
has happened yet
A wendigo he hides inside
that eats away his peace of mind
But come and go
the moon will rise
no matter what
He feels inside
The monster, seething
bound to a chair
Lost in his feelings
unaware
Running from his memories
a tethered heart
left unprepared
For broken dreams
and broken skin
faint promises would do him in
Insatiable
his countless needs
Unbreakable
forever means
Lost to him
kept in a locket
Like pennies found
inside his pocket

What a clever poet you are! A sense of sorrow and aloneness conveyed delicately.
Wow, so deep!
Emotional and deep.
