Tragedy In Black

The tragedy of love lost has returned Whispering dark lies of jealousy Taunting with brutal honesty Vehemently insisting on the truth Lingering hugs, and furtive kisses, Air crackling with mutual infatuation The light in his eyes is alive for another And only reflections of sadness for us Emptiness bleeding from my cracked heart Revenge consuming every waking thought Obsession eroding the innocence of my soul I ceased to exist As the last speck of my essence Dissolved into a black pit of despair I realized the tragedy of love lost Doesn’t have to be SassyLady 8/20/15

I agree that life is important and we must move on. This poem was one of the contests here. The challenge was being able to write a poem with the words black, jealousy and obsession when it's not part of my personal experience. Thank you for the encouragement.

You captured heartbreak so well my friend. There is a certain blackness in it that all feel when they are thus struck down. "As the last speck of my essence Dissolved into a black pit of despair" ^^ Exactly the feeling-- been there far too many times myself as a young man. Great poem. A7

As a novice , you write some good poetry my friend. True, tis much harder to write poetry on a subject picked by another, as is the case with most poetry contests here. I see that you measured up to the task!

Thank you Mr. T Wrote this poem for one of the contests here. Required the words Black, Jealousy and Obsession and number of lines limited. Quite the challenge for someone who just started writing poetry last week, thanks to your prompting. Keep your fingers crossed.
