Tragic Fantasize


Between the folds of my sheets at night there lies a breaking heart
the end of a day of immovable thoughts; a bitter friend from the start
a twist, a turn, a fluttering eye, a cheek with trail of tears
this empty well, so sullen and void; a pain towards which I stare

How I felt last night, a star lost bright, amiss and ‘oneness’ rained
the heart as only a Fist in size, yet a mountain emotion drained
and wake the morn with the painful scorn of a silence in her speak
words I no longer hear in her disappear; only stillness, step, and creak

An untruth confessed, a love professed, warmth reacheth within the soul
but her heart’s abide her past’s denied and clear from Cupid’s hold
“Get up!” I say, “and start your day,” but sometimes I cannot lift the weight
  slave of my own heart, I knew from the start, this walk is an uphill fate

Still I’ll dream you’re near and hope I’ll hear the sweet sound of your call
I’ll pretend you care to see me here...(sigh)...............it hurts to take this fall
Yet love conquers all, still truths befall under the frail of simple guise
so hold my heart, on near, my love, my dear, this tragic fantasize

well, as you know I loved this the first time I read it...but I like this versions presentation as well. sometimes we can write the same poem 5 different ways.
take care ,jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be
