The day you cried was when everything was said.

When everything kept in the dark was flooded over by a beaming light,

That set everything free.

Your silenced words escaped through the lips of others.

You hidden intentions were being thrown in my face.

Your deepest fears came alive.

For once your black heart showed emotion,

But it was too late

The ice behind your eyes finally melted away,

Unleashing the tears you tried so hard to fight against

The echo of your apology replayed over and over again.

I stood there motionless, speechless, and cold.

For the first time ever you thought I didnt care;

But that wasnt the truth,

The truth was I was dead,

I died the moment I found out who you really were.

A lifeless body standing in your presence

I held on to my pride and didnt say a word

I let you speak and say what you had to say

Even though it had no meaning whatsoever

Inside in my own little world I destroyed you

And every memory we once shared

I ripped off my lips that once touched yours

I tore off every piece of skin that you once touched

I shattered my own heart trying to erase the love I once felt

I beat myself thousands of times until I only felt the numbness within me.

I did everything to erase you

The day I destroyed what was left of you,

Was the day I also destroyed myself.

..And everything that ever meant something.

I shattered my own heart trying to erase the love I once felt ...

Oh, how I know that death,
a wound that shares no healing.
Save only when the moon comes out
to scatter my tears, his ceiling.

beautiful heart

That was deep.

:) thank you!

Deeply emotional, deeply felt. Welcome to Mingle Xkonstantine

Hit home for me big time. Nice write, thank you for sharing.

Thanks :)

do you write?

THank you I'm glad you liked it

dt4c most definitely writes, and well. I think pretty much we all do in this section.

I did one on a similar vein earlier this week. Mine was quite... black though.

And as dt4c said, welcome and glad to have you here... I'm kinda new to this section myself though I've been on mingle for a while now.

Powerful poem that relates the devastation that one feels. Profound words that cause one to take pause and ponder why that feeling can change from one of complete love to wanting to strip everything from your mind. Welcome to our little family.

That's good I look forward to reading your stuff. mine is so positive either but with the years ive learned that a poem doesnt define an individual, it defines them in that moment of time. it took me a while to figure myself out.

this is a darker poem compared to what i normally write but i think its one of my favorites.

and thanks for welcoming me.
