Lovers Mirage

by kevin Boundy AKA the ghost   Mar 7, 2009


Dehydrated from your love
Walking through this desert of pain
It's been 24 hours since I last saw you
And I'm already going insane

Music has no melody
Colors have no hue
Life to me seems so meaningless
If I'm spending it without you

Only one in a lifetime
You touched my soul
And your angelic hands
Are the only thing keeping me whole

But as I sit here in this prison
My ex-best friend the knife
Slips into my hand once more
Reminding me of my past life

Because without you it seems
He is all I have left
My only escape from this extreme pain
My sanctuary from a love bereft

So it seems the army of suicidal thoughts
Have laid down their barrage
I lay here in shock without your love
Suffering from my lovers mirage

    I was actually more impressed by this than I'd thought.

    Dehydrated was a nice choice, the use of the desert also brought that image out there too. The rhyme didn't seem forced at all.

    'Music has no melody
    Colors have no hue'

    I liked that bit. The joys in life are black and white when you're not with your loved one.

    'But as I sit here in this prison
    My ex-best friend the knife
    Slips into my hand once more
    Reminding me of my past life'

    This stanza was weak compared to the rest, it was a bit cliche, which was a shame.

    The last stanza was great, tied it all up well. I liked the use of the title here. Good work bro..

    I originally opened this poem, because the title itself was just simply captivating.
    as i read, i needed to keep going,
    just like the person in this poem, needs the love they have lost.

    here are the parts that spoke loudest to me.

    i love this metaphor.

    Music has no melody
    Colors have no hue
    Life to me seems so meaningless
    If I'm spending it without you

    this whole stanza .. couldnt be put more beautifully.

    So it seems the army of suicidal thoughts
    Have laid down their barrage
    I lay here in shock without your love
    Suffering from my lovers mirage
