A Beautiful Disaster

Hello,

I'm writing this to you

As all the words are in the air;

There's been no chance to prove them true,

And in the wave of my despair

I've nothing else to do.



The breath of wind will dry my tears,

The wind of change... but love's eternal,

And with those tears it won't fade,

I'll die - the flame of love will burn

And dwell here till the end of days.



And every time I see your eyes

In my own world behind my lashes,

The stars in our evening sky

Seem bleak... and from tomorrow's ashes

My hope revives.



My love, you never broke my heart,

As it was simply never whole.

You've just picked up its every shard;

Without knowing, you have stolen

Them all... It's fate, it's not your fault.



And, as you keep it in your hands,

It's drenched in all of your misfortunes.

To see your pain I just can't stand,

Each of your tears is a torture...

So give it all to me.

We will withstand.



Please, talk to me, please, let me hear

Your voice, and tell me what to do

To let you know I'm always here,

To ease the pain you're going through.



With love,

I won't sign my letter.

I am the one... you know who.

The day... It doesn't even matter -

It's one more day without you.

this touched me today.  

I am keeping it if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Oh, and this verse...well, it fits...

"My love, you never broke my heart,

As it was simply never whole.

You've just picked up its every shard;

Without knowing, you have stolen

Them all... It's fate, it's not your fault."

this poem says so much. The one line that stood out and touched me was

"As you keep it in your hands"

I'd like to read more of your stuff.

Thanks for sharing.
