In a world of myth
When love becomes lie
Where pain and sorrow
Is your alibi

Hopeless dreams
And visions lost
Sanity cut short
Your life it cost

The stalking wind
Of love gone sour
Breathes down your neck
At this crooked hour

The times you’ve shared
The moments all gone
Like shadows of the moon
At the coming of dawn

No consideration
Not even a care
Of your aching heart
As it begins to tear

Hopes faithful climb
Is now put to the test
Feelings of change
And seasons of unrest

Life’s simple pleasures
Forgotten by most
In the valley
Of wind and ghosts

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

Thanks Cpat...I appreciate the kind words!

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

the title says it all. . .

great poem. . . flows well, and I'm wondering what could have inspired it. . .

Hey Paula, I've missed you too. You can email me at boninmonkey@hotmail.com.

And as for what inspired this was that once again, I fell in love with a girl and she broke my heart. Same old sob story.

Thanks for the replies.
