This afternoon I tried to sleep
Cuddled up on the couch
So cold
So very cold
And I and the rain fell
no particular direction in mind but
down
to land without care
I'm so lost
This is me
without you
Stripped bare
Everything I tried to be
puddled in the mud
Discarded without care
and spit upon
and then he walked away

So sad and so well done.  Keep your chin up, gal

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Rain doesn't have any choice than to fall down, but you do have a choice to raise your spirit again (in a while)

Very nice written RebeccaJoy

Listen to the rain
no not with ears
but heart pumping life
if you listen closely
you will hear it call
your name in music adoreing

I have a friend who once said-"Sooner or later, Death makes a believer out of just about everyone."

You've expressed your pain well, it would be so wonderful if not so many people would have to experience such a feeling, nor inflict it upon another.

The only thing I would do for the poem is use you instead of he in the walking away line.  The middle of the poem sounds as though you are speaking to the tormentor, the betrayer, and then the last statement is as if it's to the reader.  This poem is so powerful, extremely powerful, but for that tiny, tiny necessary change.  I hope you don't mind me saying so, but this is just too good for me not to speak of it.  I'll be watching for more of your poetry and will hope more positive feelings will be occurring for you soon.  You seem to have a wonderful heart and having it broken is just too awful.  I especially like the comparison of you and the rain falling in no particular direction.  Very vivid!!!

This is wonderfully written...love the style, and the melancholy tone...superb. I'll also be watching out for more of your work...

Loves you not
I hear the song
his self imposed
dirge love you

slef imposed mournful melody

so sings the wind
so beats the heart
of time so ends all
perhaps he has plummeted

one intisemely tiny
straw you know what
love is everything and
all broken under the weight
tis life next he cares

does he wail in the wind
hoel like wolf at bay

did he speak of loves betrayels
of the love the rightness
the future might prevail
all that he would be did he sing

Misty mroning melodies
forever one herts trample
night dead now dead life
fought his wars while generals lied

to those on battelefield
his scars have caught him now
bleeding life  
the stain of illusions
mark him drive him from this race
of human kind
he bleeds no doubt for you
even now


"The past my prison, confined in solitary voiceless penance."
