today was too dark
for these
pale hands

the same palms that
touched the stars
when they touched your
skin

I told you
with
aged tears

that I can't hurt anymore

today you stole away
my innocence

and tomorrow will be filled with
my thoughts
covered with thorns

and sore eyes
that know
too much

jennie may...
this is a beautiful poem...
very well written.
it's more like the gift of life...
i would say...
as painful of heartbreaks are you always learn to live to go on...and that's life


If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves
from which evolves the light...

Jennie May, you have a quality and gift for poetry...while this is sad, I'll be looking for more works on a lighter note.

Well done!

~Jennie May,...this poem makes me feel.  It reads so softly in the beginning and then ends with such a harshness.....like lots of pain. Great writing. Take care. *Peace.
