Your Last Tear For Me |

Deafening silence Sends a chill down my spine, As a single tear Forms in your crystal blue eyes. One tear That completely washes away Everything that we’ve been through. Leaving me with shaky hands And quivering lips. Whatever comes next Will lead to the destruction Of everything we’ve ever had. You raise your hand to my cheek, Caressing it gently underneath Your wet fingertips. Then you lean in And kiss my lips softly For the last time.... With no words spoken You turn toward the door Open it and walk out; Enclosing what once was In the old apartment we used to share. And as I watch you leave I think of my future... The apartment will be sold. I’ll put up an ad in a day or two. Who will get Picasso? She was my cat to begin with. Where will I live? I could always go back to my parent’s, Just for a little while though. Then it hits me. Like a knife to the heart: You’re gone And won’t be coming back. With harsh realization I drop to the floor, Rocking back and forth As I sob uncontrollably. I’ve lost you...* "In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..." |

Wow, this was good. It is another really good example of narrative poetry. I don't normally like that kind of writing but this works really well. While it's narrative in the sense that we get the entire picture and we can understand to a tee what is going on there is also a hidden imagery that really comes out. I liked it a lot. Well done! ~I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say but I'm working on it~ |

Hey hun...I LOVE how you take something and make it come to life. I absolutely loved this, like always. You're writing is touching, along with many other writers! The imagery was great in this piece, great work! ~Jess "At the touch of love, everything becomes a poem." -Plato |

I've heard the apartment scence from you before I'm sure. This is very realistic and it touches me how the cat was added in. Many a things can go wrong in life and if you can write the sobing as well as rocking. Kudos to you BarbieDoll...Kudos. NJS |

That you posted this poem means that you watned it critiqued, but I'm hesitant to do so, because it's such a powerful, sad, and emotional poem, and getting to know you as I am, I wouldn't want to hurt you but being callous, or anyone for that matter. In the end, anyways, though, I just wanted to say that I feel organmized stanza breaks would be a powerful addition to the poem, and the last line, I would cut that, because it's already been deduced you lost him, and stating the obvious takes away from the powerful effect of the poem. A wonderful poem. ~Titus The few. The proud. The Marines. |
