Two lost souls, inexplainably collided
Neither seeking what couldn't be found
We danced precariously on the edge of madness
Our hearts inconstant, Desire bound
White lie and fallacy snaked evil threads
Through the tapestry of our affair
Keeping constant, guesses and doubts
The basis of feelings we shared
Yet, as days and weeks turned to seasons and years
Fallacy's thread unwound
You captured a piece of this rime colored heart
Denying me lonliness bound
Now, Woe is me!!! In maturity's wake
Damning reality's sobering cry
I carve your hands from around my heart
And kiss you.. a final good-bye


Sheila

This really drew me in...especially the last few lines.  I loved

"I carve our hands from around my heart
and kiss you...a final goodbye.

Great work!

Very well expressed!

What a cracker!
Reminds me of medieval, romantic, tragic poetry(...and a lot of a finally broken relationship in my life).
Your words embrace the vulnerability of a broken heart and your poem expresses so well, what you often only realize looking back.
The last two lines are very strong.
The bitterness and disappointment of that last kiss lingers.
Great piece!
Bee.

Oh wow, I have to agree with everyone on those last two lines. The whole poem is great, but ouch, that last part hit hard!
Awesome description.
