Peace of My Heart

A weight of the world

Has been lifted off my shoulders.

My oceans of neverending tears

Dried up, like desert without rain.

 

I have gazed into your eyes

Full of hatred, sorrow, and regret

Nothing but decieving lies

You are the only one to blame.

 

Haunting my dreams

Every memory of darkness past.

You never cared enough

To just let me go and be free.

 

I am no longer afraid,

For there is a peace within my heart

And the heavens replaced my mind

The hell you have caused my lifetime.

 

I am finally free,

Now that you are gone

My spirit has been lifted

My torn wings have been mended.

 

You are no longer here

As my tears dry up,

Like a desert without rain

Peace in my heart, at last.

I'm not quite sure I know how to respond to your Author's Note... I don't know if you're joking or if you're actually serious... Well, either way, I hope everything is alright.
Well, uh, anyways, you did a really great job on this poem. It was full of emotion.


"My oceans of neverending tears

Dried up, like desert without rain."


I love those lines. A very good comparison.
I sometimes find myself "crying oceans of never ending tears" on random evenings. Everything just sends me off in tears, no matter how small it was. That's kind of what I thought of when I read those two lines. But, I suppose crying can be very helpful. Just gotta get it out, right?
There also seems to be a lot of hope in this story (well, poem) when you talk about a weight being lifted off your shoulders, your new freedom, your mended wings, no more tears... If only things could stay that way after being fixed. ...That's a very negative thought - ignore that!
Anywho, you did a wonderful job. Bravo!
