Silent Slumbers

Morose

Every song I hear
reminds me of you

Makes eyes leak
and heart ache

How is it
that when I see a girl in the distance
she becomes you

Even though I know
it cant be

My heart aches
tears flow

Often sitting in the park
watching couples
walk by

A certain scent or fragrance
you appear
in front of my eyes

Tears fall
heart bleeds

People tell me time will heal
you said the same
move on

Yet I dont want to
heal or move on
because if I do

I know you will be gone
Hearts bleeding every day
tears streaming every way

Every single day
I hear your voice
it plays over in my mind
like a melody
a rhyme

heart broken
rivers swollen
by tears
of bitter regret

Now as I take the knife
that will end my life
hearts blood seeps

Sounds of rushing leaves
washing me clean
no angels wings
will make me sing

Silence
no hearts beat
peace
no more heat

Quiet.......................................................silence.....................................sleep

it's a dark and passionate write. though the pattern isn't very coherent and i can't visualize the imagery much. but all comments faded when i read the last line-- it was unexpected and clever. good one!
thanks for sharing :)

The photo is amazing. The words are very sad. Needing and missing someone can make us weak and desperate.

A very sad ending to a very strong poem.

im sure the feelings' got to be dreadful though i cant agree with the way to stop heartache.

[JelliFyshKissUs]

You seem as if you speak from experience. A pain that lingers in the core of your heart. It's funny how a simple organ can induce us to cling desperately to someone or something that doesn't wish to reciprocate. You capture the desparate grip beautifully.

Not ugh at all, it is a sad poem, that is written very well! Sad this how often this very thing happens in reality!

[xjust-for-me.x]

oh wow now this does tell a tale of heartbreak very well done my friend..

[J.M]

Sad but that in no way detracts from its value. It was tragic and touching and very understandable, especially the end. We all drift into darker tunnels sometimes and from this it seems that as my friend is fond of saying 'the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train''.
