A Forms and Words - Absence

Absence as I hear them calling
Broken as I feel them falling
Cardiac as it's stalling
Darkness has me crawling
Endeavoring to its installing
Fevered by enthralling
Giving into it appalling
Heartfelt gifts sprawling
Individual love is worth mauling
Jointly our worth is stalling
Kissing my lips, befalling
Loving her, a load I'm hauling
Missing us forever recalling
No joy in finding the end
Openness only serves to offend
Patience is just pretend
Quietly wanting more than a friend
Reliving does not allow us to transcend
Seeking solutions, don't bend
Time there's none left to extend
Unbelievably easy to condescend
Viciousness has no way to amend
Wanting left no desire to attend
Xenomorphic this relationships bookend
You had every chance girlfriend
Zero desire is left to be penned

Sotto, I want to thank you very much for sponsoring this competition I didn't know how badly I needed to write this piece until I started writing it. And to hold company with the names on this list from first place through honorable mentions is both humbling and inspiring! Warmest regards A.S.

My true belief is the purpose of this website is to be both a sounding board and a means of encouragement. That is what I've taken away from it and what has been given to me from it. So anytime I can give back to the community I am more than willing to do so! Thank you very much for taking the time to read so many of my pieces A.S.

Truthfully with regards to the rhyme all I knew for sure when I started writing this was that I wanted to split the alphabet into two sets of 13 rhymes. The words just kind of flow out of me I know that's very undescriptive but it's the truth. I really wanted the reader of this poem to understand the turmoil that comes with divorce and break up. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it even though it is a difficult subject. Warmly A.S.
