Join Me.

I forgive you with all of my dead heart.

 

Hello, dear, remember me?
Perhaps if you wrap your arms around me
Hold me close to you
No, dear, I have no heartbeat
Maybe your heart could beat for two?

 

Don’t you know me, love?
Don't you recognize my scent?
The feel of hands on your back?
The touch of my skin?
The taste of my mouth?
Do you remember me?

 

No, love, I’m not alive
You watched me leave, my dear
But I forgive with all of my dead heart
And my lost, forgotten soul
Forgive yourself now, for all you’ve done
Oh, don’t you know?

 

I’ve been dead so long
Yet alive, in a sense
Waiting for you
Why, you ask?
Well, dear, it’s simple
I died by your hand
 

You’ve got my blood on your hands
Don’t act so dumb, love
It was you who killed me

 

 

It’s all right, love
Hush now, don’t cry
I’ve been waiting for you, love
Come and join me here.

Author's Note

I wrote this about 2 months ago for NaPoWriMo and just fixed it up a bit. What do you think?

Like your other Contest submission, this has a slightly romantic style. Having read your Author's Note, how was this poem regarded by NaPoWriMo, if you don't mind me asking..?

It seems to be quite a powerful and emotive poem in places, and certainly seems to reflect the unique writing style of the poet. Thankyou, Howl!

This is really good, as all of your stuff is. I could tell by the first few lines that I was going to like this very much. :} Great write.

...i hate to say this.. as i was so engrossed within the first several stanzas.. it was sooo powerful and ripping! ....and how you end it.. to me (and my lonely opinion) it left "him"...or the "lover" in control.. and i was a bit displeased. ......very unique write... but i was left wanting... just a dagger of some kind.

I really like this! I'd have to say that of all of the stanzas, the first is my favorite (especially the last three lines)! They are absolutely beautiful. They flow really well, make sense, and truly me you feel the emotions. Everything you could want in a poem.
