Sorrows Unwept

Follow-up to poem Transformation

Am I being too clingy?

May I ask where you are?

Am I actually healed?

Or are these wounds not yet scars?

Do they still burn inside

Like flames catching grass?

Do I still turn and hide

In my dreams of the past?

It's over, it's gone

He never loved you!

I thought you let go

I thought you were through!

Seems no scars are painless

Even when left alone

Why does my heart chase him

So far, far from home?

Listen, my self

Are you so blind?

You've returned to the deepest

Darkest corners of your mind

Where you hid, locked away

These passions and fears

And now try your hardest

To hold back the tears

Perhaps it'd be better

If you never realized

That this love was much deeper

That his love was your prize

Now the pain is just dull

Distantly ringing

There's grayness in your words

No joy in your singing

Sleep for this night

And try to forget

All the unreturned letters

And your sorrows unwept.

Once again, you write profound poetry. So clear, so common to many broken-hearted ones. Great work.
