The Crevice
by Nikiness
The sun used to shine on me,
there used to be a fluffily clouded sky.
I knew about something called happy.
I always knew just where I wanted to be.

That sun is gone,
replaced by night.
those clouds now carry low thunder,
I only know misery and fright
and I don't even recognize me.

Somewhere in between
something got forgotten and lost
the key to my soul
was replaced by a lock.

I can tell of the deep, dull crevice
I have let myself crawl into
but no one has asked.
If it were wished,
I would count the cold tears I've shed
but none of it would matter,
there would still be
the lost happy I don't remember

this poem has described my life. i used to be so happy, nothing would hurt me. now, all i ever feel is pain. like there is this dull ache where my heart used to be. but this poem sumed up what my heart has been trying to say to all my old friends. about the boy who ripped my heart in half, my used to be best friend was said i should just rot. but i love this poem!

I'm sorry you have to feel this way. I know it sounds cliche, but I do know how you feel (hence the reason for me being sorry). I hope things get better for you-and soon. If nothing works, you could get a shrink. That's what my parents made me do.

you describe my life perfectly, i used to know what happiness meant but that was a VERY long time ago. I have been running from myself from the day my hapiness was "stolen" but now i have found happiness again, i never thought one person could make such a huge difference in life. we have been friends for 5 months now and she has given me the curage to face my life and stop running. i can't describe the feeling of beeing happy for the first time in eight years! thx for this poem you put my life in to wordsin a way i would never beable to do and i hope all of you who feels the same will find happiness again.
