Never to Return

An image of crushing sorrow, like some scene from a movie that you would have to have a literally insane actress that could actually inflict the emotions upon herself to perform.

Red construction paper valentines 

 

Pouring from a crumpled chest

Breast broken 

 

Subtle sadness cracking 

Sad smiles 

Into a tortured mask

 

Of worlds lost 

by the absence of one

 

Never, 

Never to return

Even in this short poem you have expressed clearly the 'crushing sorrow' of losing a person you love (whether through the end of a relationship by growing apart or even through death).
This poem reads and flows well - I like the descriptions and images created.
