The only thing left

Collab with Yaki :)

She had fallen deep in love,
with the thought of saying goodbye,
for a majestic relationship
had suddenly turned into rubble.

what she once thought was
unquestionable,
melted into a doubtful mess.

in her silence ;
She craves freedom.

The fallout so damaging..
painful, like walking on glass
herself confidence now shattered-
Like your words left her heart.

She needs comfort,

The type of warmth,
she knows she'll only find
when she is alone,
the one she can only find
written upon herself
for her skin stands like
the misread notebook..

..it takes time..

spiraled silver rings,
are just a reminder of
nevereding promises
and bound together are papers,
papers that scream justice..

Delivering..
her poetic words,
The only beauty in her life

    She had fallen deep in love,
    with the thought of saying goodbye,
    for a majestic relationship
    had suddenly turned into rubble.

    ----- Starting with the first stanza, one can immediately know that this poem is sad. Someone who fell deeply in love and just to realize that it was one sided, that the relationship was sinking and there was not much that can be done to fix it. Other than to end it.

    what she once thought was
    unquestionable,
    melted into a doubtful mess.

    ---With this sentences, I'm trying to think about something that isn't questionable. Could it be the love that she thought existed? or that the relationship was fruitful and at the end it wasn't? But this stanza is my favorite because it leaves the reader wanting to know more and thus to continue reading while looking for the answers to their questions.

    in her silence ;
    She craves freedom

    The fallout so damaging..
    painful, like walking on glass
    herself confidence now shattered-
    Like your words left her heart.

    --- Now I'm wondering, what words did he said to her? But I'm thinking it was that he no longer love her. Or that he insulted her? more like violence..

    She needs comfort,

    The type of warmth,
    she knows she'll only find
    when she is alone,
    the one she can only find
    written upon herself
    for her skin stands like
    the misread notebook..

    --- For some reason, I'm picture someone cutting their skin while writing on it.

    Or could it be that her skin has bruises?

    ..it takes time..

    spiraled silver rings,
    are just a reminder of
    neverending promises
    and bound together are papers,
    papers that scream justice..

    --- papers? I thought it was referring to the skin.. hm wait, so could it be scars?

    Or could it a notebook and someone who has been a victim of violence has been writing on it.

    Delivering..
    her poetic words,
    The only beauty in her life

    --- The only way to find peace or to enjoy life is through writing down.

    I found this poem to be vague, it has imagery but there are a few parts that needed a bit more of info, in my opinion. Or perhaps, could you explain it to me? may be then it will make sense :) Though, there were some stanzas that I liked.

    Wow...I really felt emotional reading this piece. It's very well written and the flow is just perfect.

    I guess in the line "herself confidence now shattered-"

    It should be like "her self-confidence...."
    otherwise it changes the meaning, right?

    Anyway, I thought this was really well written.
