Spring Rains (For Emeraldeyes)

SPRING RAINS


Lost. Pain.
Sorrow. Tears.
Sadness. Loneliness.
Emptiness. Fears.

Helpless. Weakness.
Broken heart.
Devastation.
Torn apart.

Alone in a world of sorrow.
Living a life of pain.
Losing the one I dreamed of.
I will never be the same.

I treasured every breath he took.
Lost in every word he spoke.
Captured by his dreamlike face.
Then one day I woke...

Reality attack. It hit me hard,
tearing my heart in two,
cushing my soul to its core.
Now I feel so blue.

I held on to his existence,
cradling it like a child.
I wrapped my arms around his soul,
and let my heart grow wild.

I thrived on all the dreams I had,
as they grew out of bounds.
Without a stake, the rains now come,
and my heart hits the ground.

To weak to hold myself up high.
With heavy drops I bend, then break.
All this wrong, I did to myself.
I opened my heart, my own mistake.

    regarding the dates: I just thought it was amazingly coincidental that there were all composed on April 7th and 8th, 1 and 11 years apart! [OHMY]

    Hi Whereabouts,

    I do not know why, but, this poem carries depression, making me feel sad.

    I maybe wrong.

    Thank you

    The the poen did its job as that is what I felt when I wrote it. [SMILE]

    It could be that the poem engendered those feelings in you because words have meanings and some of those meanings are not expressible in words.
