Final Plea

by Rachel RTVW   Mar 1, 2007


Mountain top, far from reach,
Choking tears, distorting speech.
Who will hear my echo call?
Sad the sounds as teardrops fall.
Scanning the landscape for trails of us,
Now all that's left is memories dust.

Hearing you whisper, "Cry no more"
Sends shivers through my core.
"All I wanted was to be a wife,
To live, to love and share your life.
Lonley life on distant shore,
You visit me in dreams no more."

"I don't define you" you respond,
"Look not to me, but far beyond"
"If true love shall cause you pain,
Than that love must be in vain"

"Please don't leave, my final plea"

"But you deserve much more than me."

As in the past, you disppear,
And though my eyes shed not a tear.
Words cut deep, it's so unfair
To give up all we used to share

Alone once more, I walk again,
Without my love, patience thin
Drowning in sorrow, broken heart.
Love built on lies then torn apart.

    Beautifully written.....absolutely amazing. I felt the pain and sorrow and hurt all over again. I related so much to this piece. Co-dependent women thinking we cannont survive without the prescence of the one we gave our all. Misdirecting where we really need to look to find ourselves......deep within. I suppose that's why I related more to these lines.

    Great Job

    Rachel this beautifully sad. Really like it....flow, word choices, rhyming....all so good....really liked this part:

    You turn your back and disappear,
    And though my eyes shed not a tear.
    My soul is flooded with utter despair,
    You walked away without a care

    5/5
