All Too Familiar

Teardrops fall like a cleansing rain, splashing against your broken heart. And washed away by years of hurt, empty promises drift apart. Your fate is all too familiar; you found someone to share your dreams. And then, doubt somehow surges up, initiating silent screams. Reacting to wounded feelings, hope morphs into pain and remorse. For, lost on the path to your heart, love irrevocably changed course. And reality reappears with the sound of a slamming door. For no one's there to hear him beg to rekindle love's flame; once more. Feeling feelings of helplessness, what's happening seems surreal. And you call upon time; to help carry you beyond this ordeal. (Quatrain) 3/25/2015

Great imagery. "For like a river to your heart love irrevocably changed course." and "Reality has crushed your soul with the sound of a slamming door." Well done, Emile.

Feels like watching a clip on the screen, but is more emotive with the fluid flow of words. Impressive, sire. A 7. Kim :)
