Heart Ache...

A poem with the pain as its soul, for the love that never bloomed.

I tried to forget and move ahead,
But I have ghosts of pasts abed.
Sometimes the pastry shop and our favorite spot reminds me of you
The other times memories themselves come rushing through.

I am trying to hold steady and not to lose
Holding my emotions back while they are trying to breakthrough.
I don’t love you anymore, no I don’t,
Why can’t my heart accept that you are gone?

I can’t go on like this, I know,
This is the part where I let go.
But let go and move on with whom?
How can I feel when it’s not you?

With all the thoughts rumbling in my head
I am burying my hopes, dead.
I sigh and look around to find myself in a dusk daybreak,
Am I waiting for a rescuer or hiding from the escape?

They say that these are just bruises,
Then why my heart feels so broken.
They said I am strong enough,
Then why is the pain my dying drug?

All I have are the questions with no answers,
All I am is a soldier without my armor.
If I die tonight it won't be of your forsake,
But I will die from heart ache.

Great all around piece of work, from art-message, everything terrific, pain will fade
time heals wounds, I speak from experience, thanks for sharing.

Maybe time just makes us habitual of the pain that we don't feel but it is still there inside us. Thanks for reading. :)

But I have ghosts of pasts abed.
