My love, my sorrow

For once to have to be forgotten, tears, fears, hearts gone rotten. 

Forests in the wake of winter, dead and aching infected splinters. 

Forever to waste away in the threads of death, 

every kiss, laced with a last breath.

I once was told, to never forget, 

to live and leave with no regret. 

I once was known, to always love, 

to be kind and gentle to the feather of a dove. 

My love, my love, so broken and bothered.

Running in fears stuffed, starved and bottled. 

Come back to me, when the lands grown once more, 

come back with your keys to open my door.

What an aching desire... the beauty and wonder of love undone... the heart looking back through winter to summer's warmth... and that key that only one could ever hold. So bittersweet...

The dichotomy of your poem was excellent...DEEP Emotions in each line...I'm truly in awe of your wonderful Poetry.

OMG very awesome! i also have a character in my Cloaked in Black story who basically she kills anyone she kisses, think they're called Sirens but not in my book haha! but yeah she cries cause she cant love anyone and it says "every kiss another death, their last taste is of my breath"!

This was a very good poem. I really got the sense of lost love from it. It flowed really well and the word choice was great.

I luv the rhyrhm and wording. You have a refreshing style for presenting sadness, pain, and loss.

Excellent composition!

Such sadness is penned here, its heartbreaking. You capture the bleakness of abandonment and turn it into a beautiful poem full of longing. Im sorry that you feel this way, but things will get better.
