Juliet Ligon Poet Acrostic

Goodbye Love, Version 2

Goodnight, firefly, flap into
Oblivion, for a lover's light has vanished.
Oh, Romeo, wherefore this
Devastating doom?!
Bury me too, starless night sky!
Yield nothing in return.
Every forbidden kiss was never mine.

Let them find us bound together.
Over your limp heart I flap.
Vexation has overtaken us, grieving into eternity.
Each heartbeat falls heavy as I discreetly die over you.

Sandra Adams January 6, 2020 at 12:09 PM powerful verse Juliet....now i need to go find version one...i like this...well crafted poem :) hugs Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 4:58 PM Thanks, Sandra. I wrote both versions in the dark, half asleep as I usually write. I was going to combine the two when light came, but just wrote them separate instead.
