Misplaced Laughter and Broken Dreams
.
After a night of fighting demons
she awakens to a lonesome world of
misplaced laughter and broken dreams.
.
A melancholy stranger who has forgotten
how to live occupies her fractured mirror,
an unwanted spirit in a reoccurring theme.
.
She inhales oxygen and exhales pain as she
lives her lonely life with a nostalgic longing
to rediscover the happy girl she used to be.
.
The Lonely Author 
What a beautiful writing…

Only you would be so in tune to someone who needs to rediscover the wonderful person she once was. It’s hard to come back to a place of self acceptance after a terrible romance. I wish her happiness and joy. And you, Andrew – I wish everyone had a friend like you.

Very good poem! It raises questions.
Perhaps there is a thin, ironic thread starting from a melancholic stranger.
But what does it all mean if she feels alive and happy? Is not that the purpose of Love?
Thank you for sharing!
LOVE
there is no
beginning and end
only
continues
what is completed
and what has begun

Love comes in so many forms. Why can a man not love his friend, just as he would a cat, his daughter, or brother. Thank you for your sharing your wonderful thoughts. Hate is what has this world in its present state.

This question has been for millennia. Yet hate is a closed vicious circle.
I have no other answer than Love.
