was it worth it
embarassment of memory
so soon after the first

unspoken now
thoughts twist and turn
sleep for the weary
yet the weary can't shut out the hurt

cried crystal tears
stained my body trickling down
felt at the bottom of my soul
flooding me, filling me
till the rains seep through the pores

the burial of pain
through empty eyes
lieing within despair
comfort engraved
as we crossed the line
of fantasy to reality
carved faces, stone cold

I fight this battle alone
tattered
I shall drink to you tonight
then settle back into a world of shadings
the color lifted from the pressings of your words
peeling back the protective layers once again
leaving me open to disease

I have released you from my torment
of sharing through lines
of being my knight
and the reflection in my mirror
that touched me with whispers
words that my lips can no longer express

you were the dream within my dream
now shelved along with the fairy tale life
to be opened, read someday
the struggling I did to understand you

it was as if you never knew me
were blind to my feelings
deaf to my heart's wants
the beating so strong at times
I thought I would explode

you lived inside me
I carried you everywhere I went
I breathed out the life you breathed into me
and I have failed in the one thing
that held me together during these times of indecision

my nights will be silent now
no screaming out for you
no candles lit to produce the shadows
awaiting your entrance
I will bathe in the pain
a reminder that all is not what it seems in life
illusions...figments we were
once, in each others arms.

Dear notarose; That was intensely sad and terribly romantic! Beautiful writing! Welcome and i'm surely looking forward to reading more of your poetry...Ellie

my sweet poet, these feelings I read and cherish in my heart for I relate to them in a way, a small way.  And though I don't know you nor your pain, I felt this so intensely in my spirit.  The worst feeling in the world is to be invisible, someone somebody else didn't appreciate.  At least that's what I got from this.  Welcome to Passions. Take care of yourself.
