Eyes of Blue

Eyes of Blue

A Poem by Tessa Melendez

It began with me sitting at a table
Per usual, I was silent
Music blasted in my ears
It seemed like I'd been lost in my pain for years

The song seeped into my mind
Bringing tears to my eyes
No one noticed me
I was the one they didn't see

Lost in my sorrows and pain
I didn't hear the screams
Looking up, I was blind
A thin, dark figure was all I could see

Something slammed into my chest
I was blown into the table behind me
Staying awake took my best
As my vision went black
There was a roaring pain in my back

My ears rang
Someone said my name
The voice echoing...
Echoing...

Arms slid around me to form a cradle
Someone familiar with hair of sable
He looked to my chest
Near my ever-aching heart

He touched the wound there
Letting out a long breath of air
His fingers came away black
His eyes were closed now

His beautiful eyes closed I don't know how
Finally he looked down at me
But, I knew he couldn't see
Tears blinded his blue eyes

Beautifully blue as the sea
Eyes I loved most
I lie in his arms limp as can be
He pulled me into his embrace

Tears rolled down his cheeks
"I love you"
Words I'd never heard him speak
My heart could skipped a beat

Death stood over me like a giant
"Let go" I whispered
Nearly silent
He buried his face in my neck

"I love you" he cried
And Death took me away on wings black as night
Then I woke
The words passing my lips

"I love you too"
"But you never knew"

One of my first poems. Wrote it last year some time. I know it's not the best, but I don't really want to change it. Nor do I really know how I could. I hope you like it.

You know how to put emotions in a write... Throughout the write you have blended pain and love quite beautifully... I loved how he said those three words, and also felt the way the Poet's heart cries... The ending left the reader with a melancholic feel... Well done Tessa, it is amazing just the way it is... Raw and heartfelt...

Sincerely
Dhiman
