Love Once Loved

The inviting scent of love and innocence that once emanated from your adolescent heart now breathes of the most odious redolence from which your malefic soul painfully imparts. Your eyes that once flickered to capture my heart have grown distant and dim from the vim of hell that lurks cold and impatient beneath the dark thoughts that will forever plague your murderous soul. Your touch that once warmed my coldest of waking dreams has grown brittle and rigid from the withering emollients of blessings that God anoints our souls with while we lay in the womb of His love unperishing. And I say unto you that no angel in heaven shall wave a wing to proffer a soothing breeze within the slightest of reprieve towards the seething temp of the damned from which you shall never leave.

Oooh, that is quite a dark write. Your anger and disappointment is very clearly and well expressed in poetic form. A bit disturbing though, because your pain, though quite understandable, seems to have turned to hatred, which actually would make her the winner, having turned you cold as hell, so to speak. I am sorry for the pain you have gone through, but don't let her bring you there. It isn't worth it. Thanks for sharing a painful moment. Caroline.

Great write, Eric! This is "heavy" stuff! Though it's a tough road we travel take no excess baggage. Leave it behind and we will prevail. Peace, Audrey
