A Darkness With In

At times I feel as if I lost my soul, a part of me not seen My heart beats towards all direction and I imagine myself not alone, but in love Tho I feel so empty inside I still live My spirit shakes, yet this pain won't cease I live in memories past, and slowly I too weep You promised forever, and I believed your words You held me when no one would look at me I was cold and hungry but alone with you I never felt I fell to my knees afraid and asked the heavens of your whereabouts Yet the vast universe stood silent still The tears that built within my eyes grew heavy But my hands shook and I felt you forever lost The one try love, a story once shared had came to an end I wrote pages endlessly, in hope the words might reach your ears I waited an eternity and still no reply Maybe the love really did die, but the soul still walks As the wind is felt but not seen, so is the soul tie between you and I I'm sorry I didn't make it to your wedding, but perhaps you can make it to my funeral Words of grace to be in order, let the world know My voice lives still My art a piece of my heart Let them know I live in my poetry, and I will forever love you no matter where love takes me As the light shines my heart holds a darkness within

This is a n introspective and passionate piece of work very well penned. I think we can all identify with this at some stage of our lives... love the line "Let them know I live in my poetry"...certainly we do. Thank you for stopping by my poems.
