Dying From the Inside

by Momentary Relapse   Dec 15, 2005


Heart beats strongly
Burning with passion, love, hate
Giving every reason to want you
Just to live one more day with you
And be there by your side

You feigned your love
Honeyed lies dripped from your lips
Eager heart lapped them up
Never allowing one drop to spill
Drawing in your essence

Heart moved every time you spoke
Wildly burning with the love it bore
All for you...

Soon the fire of love extinguished
You drove it from this heart
Painfully you broke what you created
Leaving a remnant of broken love

Scarred by your dying devotion
And turbulent destruction of its love
Playing it false as you drained its life
It flutters captured in empty promises
Struggling to continue on despite you

This heart dies
Throbbing, pounding, palpitating
Then silence

    Hey! Thanks for reading my poem Haunted by you and giving me good advice on it. I tried to fix the ending that you mentioned there was a problem with, and I was wondering if you could re-read it some time and tell me if it is any better. Thanks so much! I really appreicate your advice. I did like the ideas of this poem here, but yes it could use some work still like you mentioned yourself. I live the ideas I just think the need to be finished. It seemed like you had a pattern at first with the five line thing and then that died out, so I guess I would say stick with that pattern and then finish it or start a new pattern and edit the first part. Some title suggestions might me believe you, falling for you, Left Broken, Mistakenly trusting you . . . or something like that. I like how you poem has a meaning and then goes somewhere. It has great potenial and I really think it can go far. I really loved these lines:
