Turn to stone
All alone
Lonely days will start me sinking
There's no light
Within my sight
Dark are thoughts that I am thinking

Your disguise
Will paralyze
This old heart and bring me sorrow
I confess
I've failed the test
With no love for me tomorrow

I see I waste my time with all the words I send
My heart is broken now with no way for it to ever mend

Live and learn
While I burn
It's my heart that I must swallow
Suddenly
It seems to me
Deep in sadness I now wallow

It's too late
I've sealed my fate
With a life of cruel surprises
Come one day
I'll find a way
Journey on to new sunrises

I thought some way some how I'd feel this way no more
Those days are over now slammed upon me like a cell block door

G.A., I really liked this.  Your descriptive lines are excellent in this one!  
"It's my heart that I must swallow"
and
"Those days are over now slammed upon me like a cell block door"

      


 Devotion

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean-
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetiton.

G.A.
this poem is excellent,you have expressed the emotions you were feeling so well.
as we write...we heal...and we then can "journey on to new sunrises"
Take care Janet Marie

 Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme,
They are not measured by the commitment of time.
Some emotions run too deep to be described by words,
Forgiveness and understanding-
remain the most beautiful words ever heard.

Great description of emotions as always.  Good imagery too.  Another Bravo  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
