You took my arm
Engraved it deep
You left the mark
The bitter trail
The shiny metal in my skin
The suttle cry
You make this in me
You make this nothing

I found the pedal
Of the rose
The one I gave you last
I saw the shred
The final piece
That time should cover as
I felt the loss
The last time
That I will let surpass
I felt you

I lingered in the hallway
To let the shadows play
I crumbled in the dirt
So I could hide away
I enclosed my eyes
So I couldn't see
I ripped out my heart
So love could never be

Nothing to grasp
Nothing to lose
Just the constant memory
Of what I had with you

This is so sad. But it was a wonderful poem.

Cold hands means a warm heart

Thank you, this pretty much is a reflection to the feelings long ago, of a relationship that could never work out.  I think this kind of relates to anyone, the reason i wrote it was because everyone could share an opinion on it.  Everyone could get a sense of its feeling. Thanks for your comments

Memories are everything sometimes,
aren't they?
This was sad, yet beautiful.
