Reevaluate

where does a spark go
when it dies
blue is the color
of tears in eyes
endure the fault
in a mistake
hours later
still feel the ache
what is the sound
of pure hurt
too loud in ears
this concert
I know the sound
a heart makes
in frozen silence
as it breaks
to truly know
such sad places
then tie and untie
word laces
hearts can break
from more than love
a rip and peal of you
in short of
no words to heal me
this time
reevaluate words
my internal rhyme



"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

Wow!  Cpat, selected the exact same lines that stood out to me, as well.  They're just awesome and a beautiful focal point for the poem.
