In Absentia

Scattered images in broken glass,

Grains of sand dissipate in whispering winds.

The memories of your smile

Haunting me at every waking moment.

 

Alone in my own dark thoughts,

Lost in the bittersweetness of evanescence.

A selfish eternity wasted, taken away

By the hands of greed and rage.

 

Cast my soul in to the heavens,

And let me stay above the clouds

So they may no longer rain down their tears

For me to swipe away from these burning eyes.

 

How can I move on pretending

When my heart has been set aflame in regret

And smoldering anger deepens within my soul,

Longing to be in your loving arms once more.

Author's Note

Obviously this was written out of some depression and anger. And may give off the feeling of suicide...but I promise I know better than to do such a thing. All in my mind, I guess you could say.

Beautiful write :))

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

intense and sad but beautiful full of emotion great images and flow I love it

I read the Authors note first and even before I read your poem I knew I would love it. Because it was real, I find the best writes are in the heat of the moment.

I love your work

100/100

It's very sad, and the reader can feel each emotion expressed.

[Rosallia]

Having your heart broken is something that can very rarely be expressed through words alone, but you've mastered it with ease.

[rosemary keogh]

Nicely expressed. I love it. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Sometimes we need to cry to cleanse our spirit and sometimes we need to scream into the night to let go of the anger that has built up. Then take a deep breath and let it out slow and let go of the past. Not and easy task but it can be done. Life is hard and letting go of someone you deeply love is even tougher.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Your expression of heartbreak is a painful release in your writing... this is not only dramatic, but beautifully tragic...Great write, Ana Rose.
