Her Loving Grief

forgetting and being happy is not as easy as eveyone would like to be

 

The silence is unbearable

So are the loud screams in her mind

The fast, flowing tears seem subtle

The answer is in the dark to find

 

Ripping, tearing, breaking apart

It’s the face and nature of lies

Immense and brilliant is the heart

A hollow tomb in her blank eyes

 

Horrible beauty it can bring

A poignant tale it is to be

The false words human mouth can string

Until there’s nothing real to see

 

Shallow pool of her doubting cries

The dusty shade of midnight blue

Deep `assumptions can not suffice

When the hope she breathed isn’t true

 

Endurance in being alone

Love is endless, true love can stay

Human emotions that are shown

They are to guide the dreamers’ way

 

How can you heal a broken trust?

And the good memories along

The hate, the pain, revenge of lust

Tonight’s starting with her song

 

We were composed to be hurt

A touch of faith to carry on

False things and bad promises heard

It’s the journey called moving on

your entries are not 'not so good'. this one's fantastically penned, hurt oozes from every word. well done. a lot of writers try to capture pain on paper, but only a few could do it well. you're one of them. keep writing.

Life is a teacher. We learn from trial and error. I like the wisdom in your poem. We must celebrate being alive and walk away from the hurt and disappointment. A excellent poem.
