Symphony Of Lies

by Tammie   Jan 4, 2008


These days just aren't the same anymore, without your soothing words by my side
Rain soaked every moment since you left and I'm catching a cold like you caught my heart
Sincerity was never one of your good traits and I learnt that lesson a bit too late
And even though I know I shouldn't, I'm still hoping you meant every word from the start

Not that it would matter anymore; your symphony of lies has faded away for good
Your melody burnt holes in ears so soothingly, and now the silence deafens
Leaving me humming along out of tune to lines filled with broken promises
And memories replaying over and over in my head as this sorrow burdens

The lace that tied our hands together can only reach so far and last so long
But you didn't even give it a chance to hold on, you ripped it apart
Shredding every last piece of hope I had in what could have been an 'us',
Like it never even mattered, and those words were as hollow as your heart

These dark hallways seem ever so long, lacking your light to guide the way
And you've left me with no choice but to hum along without you in quiet despair
Reminiscing on unforgettable moments, tainted with tears now that you're gone
It's amazing how you really have no clue just how far I've gone beyond repair.

    This is interesting and filled with excellently expressed emotions. Very intense from the beginning to the end. I like the imagery that you created, it is original and powerful. Whole poem is different from anything I've read before, it's not typical clishe love poetry which is great.
    Descriptions flow through the mind, creating effective, unique images.
    The second stanza is my favorite.
    Keep writing!

    You know, I'm really loving this new style you've had going for you lately. It's almost as if you get inspired from Ians work and the create your own gem of work. It's quite beautiful to tell you the truth. The emotions ran wild throughout this. I loved the touch of sarcasm you added also, you really have it in you. This was a deep piece, It play my heart strings like a violin. Really sad, touching and breath taking. Though like I said, has a touch of that sarcasm. I feel like you grasped onto my heart and really had it gripped within a sorrowing tune. Again i've been left in shock by another amazing write by you. Your word choice is a mixture of simple and sweet, and deep and vivid. I loved that about this poem. I can't pick out a favorite of this piece for all parts are stunning. You've created a diamond here which is going on my favorite poems. A beautifully sad, yet elegant write. 5/5 from me definitly. Though you deserve way more for this. You've got talent sweets.
