Even the Smallest Refrain

~ Why is the sky so much darker When did the sun start to set So many shadows are falling my pathway Hoping my heart can forget What is the meaning of never Can I still stand on my own How could you leave me out here in the darkness Hiding these fears I have sown Can you not see I am crying Pleading with stars in the sky Calling your name till the heavens are reeling Seeking the day passing by Empty my dreams they have fallen Shattered this earth down below Collections of feelings stretched long in the mist Anguish felt ever so slow Echoes the branches are swaying Silhouettes pointing at me Staring upon every sorrow now spoken Here in this night I can see If in your heart you find waiting Even the smallest refrain Hear of my words for I beg you to listen I need you, please love me again

You are the prince of sad poems Chris! What a way with words you have! Lost love at least produces fine writing, in you, despite the pain.

Thanks so much John. I can think of so many other things I would rather be the prince of than sad poems, but it is what it is. : )

Your pen is bleeding tearjerkers lately, pleading with stars, whence no answer comes, sad but beautifully written.

Chris,did your boyfriend break up with you?Break up is not easy.It is hard to take.Sometimes a second chance is given and it works out,or not.It takes time to get over a heartache, in time you will heal. This is a beautiful poem.
