Valentines Day

by Jad   Feb 15, 2011


Words won't come to mind -looking down
haunted by your loving smile, -as you lay
crying in frustration -silent in death
I tear myself apart with my heart. -please come back

Now I see
that your gone,
and I'm lost,
trapped inside, I watch you fade
below the ground
as everything blurs from sight.

...take this all away,
suffocate my life and hide
any remnants of my remains.

Standing without you here, -I'm falling
hiding the tears I don't want to shed -crying inside
denying all I've ever known -faith is all I have
hold me in your cold embrace. -you're gone

My Valentines Day....

    The emotion was definitely there and impacts the reader, however the different structure here was too different for me. It seemed the lines didn't break right and the structure was kind of haphazard as a result. I prefer your normal style more. A poem full of emotion though, lots of sadness.

    Austin, this write is so full of sadness, heartache and pain for a loved one. I am not going through each verse, line by line because it doesn't need that. I understabd the use of the phrases after the dashes and I wish there were some way on this site to treat them differently. Given that, this is an excellent write from you.
