C'est fini

C'est fini

 

Drowned in memories,

absence of joy,

falling in life

yet, no hope: c'est fini,

 

Her black veil stuck,

tore by a rock

her heart darkened

solid as the latter.

 

What was the purpose? she asked.

C'est fini.

There was no beginning,

but there surely is an end.

 

She was told he would come back.

It had been a decade

lied to, mocked at,

there had to be an end

 

Performing solo,

the rest: spectators

all in all

she had joined the rest too

 

Unappreciated sunshine,

unheard birds,

weeping waters,

she stood still

 

Not for too long though,

one step forward,

and another,

now she was gone.

 

Years of breath,

moments of laughter,

wasted,

thrown away in the deep blue

 

"C'est fini" she had told herself.

C'est fini.

Captivating through and through, much enjoyed!

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is beautiful and powerful. I like the description and the story in the words.
"Unappreciated sunshine,
unheard birds,
weeping waters,
she stood still"
"C'est fini." are the words we must announce sometimes in a life. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I really love this write, this is wonderful

[Lydia]

Very good. I loved this.

[MoriartyMesa]

Nice tragic moments of a single female. The structure is not only solid but you could build a 8 bed room house on it.
