Cherry Amber

There's nothing to excuse I am sure
but we've reached an impasse
You did your best, do not deny,
to indulge your sullen side

I'll never see you again
You may walk by one sunny afternoon
but you won't be the same person
and I'll still only see the rain
Falling... ever so softly
Cherry Amber, this is the end

I knew I was foolish to expect so much
I guess the heart wants only what breaks it
You were raucous; a product of your friends
You broke my pride and passed it around

Sorry is such an empty word
It just falls right off the page
I don't believe in anything you have to say
and it's just terrible I cannot forgive

I'll never see you again
You may walk by one sunny afternoon
but you won't be the same person
and I'll still only see the rain
Falling... ever so softly
Cherry Amber, this is the end

Let the paper heart burn
with the tip of a lit cigarette
Deface my words and scar my skin
I never wasted any sentiments on you anyway

Ouch...That last line was a killer, "I never wasted any sentiments on you anyway" wow. This was a great, I am done with you, poem. I really like it. So many lines in this that pricked the heart with sharp words, yet it captured the sorrow of goodbye, brilliantly.

"Sorry is such an empty word it just falls off the page" That completely pulled me into this write and I was not disappointed. Fantastic work.

I really like the last stanza

"Let the paper heart burn

Deface my words and scar my skin
I never wasted any sentiments on you anyway"

Brutal!

"Sorry is such an empty word...It just falls right off the page.."

That line. WOW.

Why must you write so well?

As always, a pleasure.

You never disappoint me.

Well done, friend. Well done.

[Emily]

I like your wording and the meaning of it! Well done!

[Dark Poet]

Agreed with the last comment- the last parts is just wow. You can feel the anger but thats what made it a good piece.

So many feelings in this one, at first I thought you were a little accepting and forgiving but haha towards the end the true emotion of hurt and anger came through. Very true the heart wants only what breaks it, sad but true. Overall great poem and like any break up, really kind of harsh lol . Anyways I'm probably just rambling now but very good work I loved it.
