My life was halted in its track through cruel force Pierced by the sharp-edged sword of love Was my heart without any sense of remorse And unable to move or think I fell off the horizon Of my turbulent and unexploited life Am I living now, or is it just a dream? A nightmare driven my mental images of my past Illusions come ashore, lifelike As if real to the touch In front of my eyes luring in the darkness At night my arms embrace a shadow of my memory And I feel the warmth of no body next to mine Not a day goes by without unimaginable pain Tearing at my soul, slowly eating away The remains of a precious memory keep alive I look inside myself and see the emptiness of my heart Vacant space echoing images of torn emotions Like a hollow tree struck by lightening many moons ago Unable to revive its powerful beauty which once Attracted beasts to nest in the warmth of its crown I wait… for no particular reason or thing Every ring of the phone, every car pulling close My hope is sparked anew, my heart-rate races For a quick moment only, just to fall deeper Enduring the incredible torment over again And with quietness setting in, the sadness returns Sleep does not come easy and Hunger is no longer felt A vacuum fills all the voids where Passion ruled and lit my path though life Replaying reflections of times gone by Fills my eyes with salty tears And with a cold shiver shearing through by body I hunch over to numb the harshness of the pain Deliriously wallowing in illusions of the past I occupy my mind and pretend that I am mistaken That my dream which once was so very much alive Is still waiting on the horizon with a smile on her face Yet the naked truth returns in the mornings Shattering all fantasies and thoughts of tenderness A distant day might dawn some time When my sorrows will blow away Like a tumbleweed in the desert wind Slowly fading where the earth meets sky How long can I endure the pain? |

Great piece! I loved reading it, so well written with deep thought and deep emotions, welcome to Passions  "Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O,no! it is an ever-fixed mark....William Shakespeare |
