The Shores of Alone

Shards of red-gold wine;
pieces of me
swept under your covers.
I am not unbreakable-
though I
try.
I drank of you,
your warmth supposed to
heal
but you
shattered me.
These passion scarred
fragments
ripped
from my heart
are unlikely
to regenerate..
You see,
I am not
unbreakable.
Beware-
my red-gold shards
may cut you
deeper
than you planned,
though I would not
see you bleed.
And your pieces
of purple steel
may join me
in hell...

This piece aches so deeply that I can't even
find the words to tell you how it made me
feel...my only hope is that through poetry
you find the healing that is there waiting
for you.  Excellent flow of emotion in this~

Yes, I'm with Victoria.  He is definitely not worthy of you if he could bring you such pain.  I know this is easy for me to say right now, but I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, and you will find the right one someday, who DOES deserve you.  Take care, my friend!
Great poem!

I can only echo what has been said above. . . but do not let your own pieces cut one that might put you back together. . .

Excellent writing. . .

Wow.  I think you just said what was on my mind with this.  I think we're kindred spirits, suffering the same hell.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go

CatalinaMoon,
Time for you to move on before more damage is done. Big hugs for you from the bottom of my heart.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
