Heartburn  I've tried to reason with the stars, to hold your soul, I've travelled far and, still, it's just no use this love is down to ashes ~ burned by bitter truth ~ I've sacrificed too much of myself draining my dreams upon your shelf, your ice kisses sting right through me, I'm jaded...a willing prisoner, trapped in your vacancy ~ There is no care in your caress, no electric kiss, no tenderness, your eyes refuse to undress my soul as I ache to ashes within your hole, you've drowned the key, dried the sea I'm left to sweep love's memory, there's no purpose, no room for me, no paradise, no reverie, no sunset shore to walk upon no body mesh until the dawn, we don't exist - a refusal to be of heart burned to the third degree ~ And, I torture myself with want in weep desiring a man unable to keep, a mind, punished with insanity for my sacrifice of inability, of weak strength to break free from these chains of misery ~ There are no pills, no tablets sublime to cease the slap of destiny's time, no place to erase this smoldering void ~ a wildfire of emptiness of love destroyed ~ And, I combust within myself, a flame, so blind upon your shelf, my heart explodes in your hollow embrace ~ there's no drench of hope, no saving grace ~ Letting you go is my redemption though, I ache with indigestion... and, my heart, it screams in rotted romance as I burn in nocturne of what could have danced  By Melissa P.

Melissa words escape me this is so phenomenal. And it feels like you are living the same thing I am, or at least are well aquainted with it. I have to save this poem, wish I could claim I had written it, and send it to HIM Love your work, and your strong heart is showing here. Sandra |

WOW!!!Not only do your words set fire to the poem but the emotions expressed burn from your deepest core. My heart goes out to you that you have to endure such pain as is caused by a love that is not returned in full measure. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
