When the Smiles Faded...

by RB   Apr 22, 2008


I remember when our hearts were intertwined,
We shared the most comfortable silences ever known,
I listened to your heartbeat, my head upon your chest,
And revealed the deepest love I had ever shown.

Wrapped up in each others arms, bound by love,
Smiles permanently danced upon our glowing faces,
For we were both in utter disbelief of what we had,
After searching for it in so many different places.

But smiles that were permanent, weren't permanent at all,
As they merely dangled from our lips, held by a string...
They faltered and wavered in the cold harsh winds,
And for dear life to our faces did they cling.

Sometimes I think I held on for far too long,
Other times it seems I pushed away too fast,
All I know is that it hurt me just as much,
When I broke the only thing we thought would last.

I remember when our hearts were intertwined.
And I remember when I threw it all away.
Yes, I remember when we let the smiles fade...
Oh how I wish we'd found a way to make them stay.

    They say that it is impossible to remember physical pain and as hard as i try I can't remember what it felt like to slam my fingers with a hammer. I do believe though that the pain of a broken heart or lost love can be felt over and over again at will. This poem will bring back the memories of the pain that inspired it for many years to come if it was indeed true love. Nice write bud, peace

    A nice piece, and well written too. At times it seemed like the lines were a little too long, but only at times. I liked you wording and rhymes, too.
