love; the acid color of

wild screams from
dark eyes latch upon
    yours of blue too clouded
to hear
crawling on knees across
a bed of nails
    for arms too short
to wrap around a tomorrow
left untinged of sorrow, allowing
cold misery to find
the hollow two faced smile
while
falling
     salt burning reminders
melt on the glass
    see the truth
in sad eye
            bromthymol blue ghosts
who held their breath so long
   they fade
we fade and Mad's laughter
  captures me
no regrets found here
         insanity covers all
the bases
               when you claim to
love

This is so sad but a beautifully written poem.

Cold hands means a warm heart

I understand this completely... I'm sort of going through the sme thing at the moment... You described it too well.

I think highlighting this is all I need do.  What's to say that could embellish it?

Thanks for sharing.
