you and me

our love only in the
fetal stage

still growing
still blooming
in our palms

suddenly
rocky roads and
violent storms

salty tears
freezing in the
cold wind of
January

I don't understand

you tell me to forget about you

and our dreams
die
in the womb

our love
malnourished
shriveling
in my belly

you and me

a stillborn love

gone before it even
began
to live

That poem touched me deep inside, it says what words usually can't. It shows me that i am not alone in the way i feel.

Exceptionally melancholy. Now it begs the question: fact or fiction?

Sadly enough, it's fact.  But it's only an expression of a time in my life.  I am really okay!   Thank you everyone for the replies above-  I love to know how people are touched by poetry.
