"I love you still,
still,
still....."

These words haunt me,
taunt me,
rattling their hollow echos
through my empty grief-wracked shell.

More words come and go
racing through my mind
rending my soul
like no knife ever could.

And though it's too late
the pain in my heart
and the tears on my cheek
betray the tragic truth
that yes,
I love you still.

Welcome to the Pub (my fave place on Passions!). What a sad way to make an entrance, but welcome anyways. I hope your suffering ends soon, write some tragic poetry, that always helps! LOL
Great poem by the way

Thankyou all very much for your warm welcome to the pub and thanks for the generous comments too. It's nice to see that the locals are such a friendly bunch  

As far as the style and passion go, they come from within. When I write seriously, my heart and soul flow. maybe that's a bit of a cliche, but it's very rare that I edit any of my poems.

X Angel, thankyou for giving me the prod to write something again and thanks for your kind wishes. The trouble with us humans, however, is that we sometimes do some really dumb things that bring suffering on ourselves and then we have to live with that forever

Wow!  Very powerful words here.  They complement each other so well through the whole poem.
