Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2012-09-20 06:28 AM


It is pain that drips from my lonely poets pen,
black drops of blood, spilling unto parchment,
nights howl, runs through a hollow heart,
these tears of midnight, drip, endlessly,

Ache , pain, covers me in solitude ,
we share time, evenings, together,
you remember? you introduced us,
at the mention of goodbye,

Oh this heart , this wretched withered heart,
all tattered, torn, broken, scorned,
buried in loneliness , covered by hurt,
deflated , evaporated, like dust,
from dirt.

Loves death came without warning.

Millette August 29th 2012

Will my words stick like glue to your heart? it is the paste that keeps us together~

I know that is hard to deal with. You think the world will never be the same, but it will, and it will even be better, though right now you won't be able to see or understand that premise.

good piece, my friend.  could feel everything.
Without warning is pretty hard to take, but it's better than slow, lingering...

you remember? you introduced us,
at the mention of goodbye,

Our pens learn a whole new vocabulary then. *sigh* Beautiful write on a sad situation.

Welcome back... sure has been awhile.  I like the dark tinge to this one, or at least can relate to it.  Hope to see more soon.

This one is dark, and painfull. A stark contrast to "Unspoken Love".
I would hope that they do not refer to the same 'love' - that would be truly sad.
Still, well done, ARH.
