Breaking Us Apart

Wafts of a relentless rain remain
change in chilled air stifles the night
heavy hearts hopelessly rearranged
me looking at you
you looking at me
but neither of us see
winds drifting in and out
pulling us apart

Sunshine spilt out all her dreams
into a bucket of mystery
one we reached for but only
filled with pride and misery
lonely clouds drift away
along side of you
looking back at me
but not able to see
breaking us apart

Breakups take a real toll on the emotions, you can't eat or sleep, you are just miserable. You express the sadness well. Tim. : ) 7

Love the contrast in your poem Tim.. the feeling is there in few lines.. the contrast supported how "apart" the breaking is.. :) enjoyed it.. Smiles, Olive ELoisa :)

I think you captured this so very well... I know I'm too young to fully grasp all that happened. But I am certainly not to young to understand, and to love how you put it into words.
