Image result for beautiful blind woman

Henri held me to his heart and then let me go, he ran away from me and I was left weeping; your so beautiful, he said, with those eyes that glow, he packed all his bags and left when I was sleeping. He ran away from me and I was left weeping, the note said, I'm a creep, a weirdo, a freak; he packed all his bags and left when I was sleeping, I'm not good enough, he wrote. Now my life is bleak. The note said, I'm a creep, a weirdo, a freak, I have fallen, fallen into a deep sadness; I'm not good enough, he wrote. Now my life is bleak, so dark, an empty canvas and I talk madness. I have fallen, fallen into a deep sadness, my life is a black void because now I have gone blind; so dark, an empty canvas and I talk madness, we were special, perfect, yet he left me behind. Life is a black void because now I have gone blind, your so beautiful, he said, with those eyes that glow; we were special, perfect, yet he left me behind, Henri held me to his heart and then let me go. _________________________ November 11, 2016 Poetry/Pantoum/He Let Me Go Copyright Protected, ID 16-849-037-0 All Rights Reserved.

I can't imagine it. Yet I know of people who were perfect for each other and split. I suppose it wasn't as perfect for him because there must have been something else he desired. Not necessarily another woman. Of course, leaving is an allegory for all kinds of losses. We know. Best wishes to you BW.

A tragically sad, hauntingly beautiful poem, BW. The sorrow and the angst brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful sadness penned by you. My heart goes out to you, my dear friend. It is going in my faves for sure. Much love to you.

Such a sadly beautiful piece. I could feel the pain and emptiness, the emotions were strongly felt. This was such a lonely poem but so well written. Good luck in the contest
