All the Dead Bodies

What do I do with all the dead bodies Of those who have murdered my heart And left me a wreck With no hopes and dreams No self esteem No will to fight Or get through the night… What? What do I do with all the dead bodies Strewn along the pathways of my mind People who are dead to my heart Those whom I want to forget Who fed me the bile of regret What do I do? What do I do with all the dead bodies Of those who have deadened my love And left my heart frozen, numb Left me alone to scream Thirsty by love's stream Longing to die Without knowing why They could be so cruel To break my heart’s every rule What shall I do? I will bury them…. In some forgotten well As I live out my hell Of the memories they’ve left behind To this heart they were not kind I will bury them… Once and for all There is no resurrection call For the dead bodies of my heart… Eileen Manassian Ghali

what brilliant idea, buried the dead buggers, by midnight hour, and dance with me.

RUSSELL.....thanks for the visit, and the lovely compliment. Sorry you have experience this as well. I think every human being alive has experience a love that hurt or are in a hurtful relationship. Yes...for healing to take place, these issues need to be dealt with. Have a great day! :)

This is crazy good and it has easily become a favorite poem. "People who are dead to my heart"...Oh, I would not want to be on your bad side. Dark, engorging, truly gorgeous sentiments filled with deathly analogy. Absolutely love this new poem here. Always, Laura

Crazy....ha ha...that adjective does fit me, my dear! :) I know you meant it for the write, but.....hee hee! No...my bad side is dark indeed! Glad you liked this one, my dear...If you like dark...Why not read "I Cut you Out of My Life." You will love the blood and gore! Hugs!

Come now Mrs Ghali, You can always walk away from people, if you want to

Hmmmmmmmm....middling fair. Thought you'd have something a little more.....profound. Walk away? You can walk away from a PC....You can't always do that from people! I want my money's worth, Mr Shrink. Give me more...........

Ok, I'll tell you how I do it. I think back to my darkest hour, from there nothing is as bad or worth getting upset over. You know, sometimes I just have to walk away from this PC, like right now

Ok, Richard...How? How do I forget? I'm getting better...but still....this stupid heart of mine never wants to learn! Got a magic pill, or heart tranquilizer or....spikes to put on the exterior of my heart? What do you do, "Mr....I'm good at giving advice cause I have it all together?"
