You looked into my eyes
Searching for things
that are no longer there
The sparks of hope
The glimmer of happiness
The pit of anguish
The well of sorrow
The fires of love
The icy depths of hatred
you searched again
and again but could find
nothing, finally you looked
into my eyes and asked
"Why?.." a hint of confusion
in your voice, you repeated
it this time saying, "Why
can't you love me? Do you
even feel?!"
my face remained unchanged
I simply replied
"Rocks don't feel"
Tears streamed down your face
as I turned away

How could you have known
of those before you, who
sought out those same signs
the women who
melted the icy depths of hatred
blew out the fires of passion
drowned me in the well of sorrow
locked me away in the pit of anguish
basked in the glimmer of happiness
then trampled the sparks of hope
How could you have known
that hearts become rocks
when all the signs of life
are destroyed.

Nice. Very nice...! I don't have much else to say other than that. I'm lost for words... ~Jess

Woah. Very powerful poem. The imagery is perfect.
I really love this one, especially the last 4 lines.
Well done.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I really felt what you were saying in this piece, and you worded it beautifully. So sad... I loved it.
