Nights of solitude

Nights of solitude

Quiet nights of solitude
No human voices to intrude
The stars are out and shining bright
On this eve, my blackest night

I've loved you for so many years
Tonight we parted, with bitter tears
I tried to keep you here with me
Till tomorrows light for all to see

You left me here and went away
So angry now, as sadness strays
What selfish thing that you have done
I always thought that I'm the one

So I'll prepare for nights of solitude
I'll still pledge my love, through this awful mood
Though I'm angry with you right now
On my knees I'll make this vow

Although your body died tonight
My love for you will still shine bright
While you lie there in that icy grave
Know my love, your memory has been saved

    Grant, at first I felt this was a poem about a broken down relationship with the the middle stanza's then that ending it me hard, it gave me Goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes knowing how it had safely ended.
    I could eve comprehend that emotion.

    All the best, Em

    WOW!!!!!! Grant, i haven't been on here in so long and everytime i come on and read something of yours your writing just becomes more and more powerful. this was the most beautiful tragedy. (not the situation) but your words, you just have so much talent and your ability to express the pain in such an amazing way really inspires me!! you truly are a role model for me to look up to and i really want to thank you for the kindness you have shown me over the years. you truly are so gifted and although you have gone through absolut hell you remain such a beautiful soul. its not our circumstances that make us who we are but our spirits and you have a truly beautiful soul!! i really dont know what else to say other than well done Grant!! and SERIOUSLY!!!!!! they need a scale higher than 5 because 5 really does not do your poetry justice... but since there isn't anything higher than 5 it'll have to be that but just know its worth far more!!

    This is a poem that's written with absolute yet subtle sadness !
    A heartbreaking theme, yet with a great flow, a deep imagination, and a very thoughtful wording!

    Expressions used, left chills all over my senses, and the emotions poured in this piece, are way beyond what my words can express..

    If this is a real poem as my Ingrid..said..then I wonder how precious is the lesson that you got to learn..unless we both see it from 2 different points..

    Some just some lines sounded a bit forced and that takes from the quality of clarity..but it wasn't that much obvious..so well written!!!
    5/5
