Here Lies The Heart

Mark where lies the heart that loved you,
In gravestone covered tomb of pain.
Where night's eternal slumber will undo,
The past affections washed in rain.

Silenced now from beats of passion,
Deserted loneliness made still.
Alone in hidden devastation,
The heart that loved against its will.

Where now the vows that it had held?
Hopes that nurtured it in life?
Promises were dreams beheld,
That killed its beat as with a knife!

Gone are the tears that now decayed,
In mournful sighing deathly laid.
Gone purpose, reason, intents prayed,
The heart that loved you... dearly paid.

This is really great. I liked how instead of a generic "heartbreak" poem, this is one that speaks volumes louder. The heart doesn't just break in this, it seems to have lost a long and troublesome battle, and that has a much larger impact. The rhyming scheme flowed very nicely and the images I'm getting from this are phenomenal. Great piece!

Thank you demureminds. Only one who has truly been in love can feel the pain in this poem.

This is so sad...it made me think of a woman, who after being married for years, is suddenly left.
