Two Dying Hearts

by Sora   Jan 14, 2012


As dawn breaks on this beautiful morning
I catch the first rays of sunlight in my hands
I sit on the park bench gazing aimlessley
Closing my eyes, I let the warmth soak my face

I am waiting for you to walk the same path
Hoping we will cease this distance between us
The last time I seen you I was speechless
I could do nothing, but catch your salty tears

The pain on your face made me feel ashamed
How could I hurt someone that is so beautiful?
The agony that your eyes expressed was painful
As well as the sorrow I felt your heart bleeding

I wanted to bear all of these burdens for you
But I, the soul who caused this pain, could not
I'm such a fool for hurting you, your gentle heart
I want to piece back together the soul I broke

How could I try to kill the love that I held for you?
What kind of person would do such a cruel thing?
Tears seep down my cheeks, but I can't stop thinking
Of how bruised and shattered your heart must be now

I only seen all of your faults and never my own
Because I was afraid, I always turned the other way
When we really should have been looking at each other
But how stubborn am I to ignore your love for me?

Now, gazing around at this beautiful view I am seeing
I think, I wish you were here to share it with me
Even though you are far, we are still under the same sky
And I hope you know I am yearning for your love again

If you knew how truely deep my love is for you
If you knew the words I spoke, I regret saying
If I held your hand in mine just one more time
Could these two broken hearts be one again?

    Wow.. Gave me chills. It easily pulls the reader to connect and be a part of it. Nice..
    "As dawn breaks on this beautiful morning
    I catch the first rays of sunlight in my hands"
    ---Really caught me eye. AMAZING. So sweet yet has a melancholic tone to it. Perfect.
    "I sit on the park bench gazing aimlessley
    Closing my eyes, I let the warmth soak my
    face"
    ---aimlessley=aimlessly
    ---I love the setting you chose here. It is over-used, I myself have a poem with that setting (not submitted here), but you made it work here. It's a very relatable place, I guess, so nicely penned.
    "Iam waiting for you to walk the same path
    Hoping we will cease this distance between
    us"
    ---Oh, God!! Let me just say I like this. Sad yet sweet all throughout. I love it..
    "The last time I seen you I was speechless
    I could do nothing, but catch your salty
    tears"
    ---seen=saw
    ---I really like the 'salty tears' I can't explain it, but... I like it.
    "The pain on your face made me feel
    ashamed
    Howcould I hurt someone that is so
    beautiful?"
    ---So, bittersweet.. that---who
    "The agony that your eyes expressed was
    painful
    As well as the sorrow I felt your heart
    bleeding"
    ---Add 'was' between 'heart' and 'bleeding', a linking verb is always necessary.
    "I only seen all of your faults and never my
    own
    Because I was afraid, I always turned the
    other way"
    ---seen=saw
    "If you knew how truely deep my love is for you"
    ---truely=truly
    EVERY line is quote-worthy. I love this. Sad, bitter and sweet.. Keep writing
