Window's Lullaby

by Twisted Heart   Dec 21, 2006


With your hand upon the pane,
You wipe the tears away
Keeping all the hurt you feel
inside your mind, contained.

Not letting any candle burn
Upon your darkened soul
Within the shelter of the ache
That wisdom came and stole.

You watch the shattered pieces
Fall against the hungry hold
The shards of glass has cut you
And brought with it the cold.

Among the wasted memories
You walk with feet of clay
Unsteadied by forgotten dreams
Inside your heart they play.

Sometimes it is the window,
That your eyes have come to share
Within the boundaries of your heart
And soul, you must beware.

To peak inside the window
And see what lies within
Would be the fate of trusting
That you could love again.

For now, the windows tainted,
By the loss that lives inside
The dust has settled nicely
On the broken lullaby.

    "To peak inside the window
    And see what lies within
    Would be the fate of trusting
    That you could love again."

    To love again after having a heart smashed is always the most difficult thing to do, well it was in my case. But thats the thing isn't it,
    "Love is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting them not to"
    (My fave phrase)
    A amazing poem...
    5/5

    I loved these 2 stanzas Jeannie and could not decide which one was my favorite. The entire poem was heart touching but those 2 stanzas just leaped right out at me.

    Take care, my dear friend

    This was a really beautiful poem, I am not even kidding, especially how none of the lines felt awkward. It seemed like a very straight forward poem that included the reader without making them feel as though they were a stranger.

    Beautiful poem, it was a bit confusing, but I got it....you know it takes me a while! lol you're last two stanzas were incredible. I really have a hard time critiquing your poems...and by the way...if you ever enter my future contests (which I hope you do!!!!) I'll probably just have to give you comments as you write poems! lol Cuz I love your work so much, that I've read almost all of it!
    So good job, keep it up!
