Last Words (Complete Version)

Ever wondered how a person consoles himself/herself after loss of love ? The heart speaks to us ... ever wondered what could be the its very final words ?

You stabbed, shot and broke my heart
You pulled and pulled, till its ripped apart
Into pieces that could never be sewn
As I just kept looking on ...

You led me on to the hairpin bend
Turned away and told me it's the end
Left me lost, lonely and undone
As I just kept looking on ...

I fell to the floor then, powerless
I heard your fading footsteps, speechless
Then I heard my resentful heart, forlorn
"Everything's gonna be fine, she is gone."

Like a flower I turned to you, the sun
With a dream to feel alive, have fun
Behind that sparkle was a knife, should've known
As it turned crimson I just looked on ...

The power of love is unmatched, I hear
It makes you strong and banishes fear
Now you've made me believe, your job's done
'Cause you burnt me alive, I just looked on ...

Finally I have turned to ashes
The feeling of freedom now truly encompasses
Then again I hear my resentful heart, forlorn
"Everything's gonna be fine, she is gone."

Then slowly it twitched and turned
Inside of me beating recklessly, unconcerned
It spoke to me, the last that I ever heard
"Life", who would have thought, was the last word ...

A very good description of sadness and disappointment. I have poetry for heart break. I rarely put out. Hard to show people the pain and misery of sad times.
"The power of love is unmatched, I hear
It makes you strong and banishes fear
Now you've made me believe, your job's done
'Cause you burnt me alive, I just looked on ..."
Love is a two sided coin. We will lose more than we will win. Thank you for the excellent poem.
