When the Heart Falls

Oh, Night that engulfs this home
Oh, darkness that invades this heart
Stealing and choking
I can’t let go.

Perhaps the morning may offer me
A place of serenity
Perhaps the morning may console me
From my misery.

Oh, Love whose eyes are blinded
Oh, lover whose lips are ice
Stinging and hurting
I can’t let go.

Perhaps the memories will heal me
A place of forgetfulness
Perhaps the memories will fool me
Into a place of bliss.

Oh, Heart whose wings have broken
Oh, Heart whose pride is gone
Tearing and despairing
Yet, I can’t let go.

Perhaps the morning will hold memories
A place of serenity
Perhaps the memories will hold morning
Dawning my misery.

Great work as always. The words you use here are quite painful. Keep it up though.

A place of serenity
Perhaps the memories will hold morning
Dawning my misery.

Loved the  writing especially the way you ended it

when the heart falls all we can do is think back on the good memories, Though the heart aches day after day eventually the ache is at least calmed to a lull. I enjoyed this poem

Thank you all for your kind words. As a poet, I strive to release my own emotions into my writing, as healing and as a way to share with those who may feel the same.  To read so much warmth and understanding from readers of my poetry makes me feel alive, human, and stronger. Thank you all, again.

"Oh love whose eyes are blinded.
Oh lover whose lips are ice.
Stinging and hurting.
I can't let go."
Such a vivid description...James
