Heartbreak and Loss

These scars on my soul are beautiful and painful, Deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes; The sorrow I keep within me is dreadful, My short life has been full of death and whys. Deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes, I thought the passage of time would heal the scars; My short life has been full of death and whys, At night all my beloved are the sparkling stars. I thought the passage of time would heal the scars, I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies; At night my beloved are the sparkling stars, My forever grief is full of long past sweet reveries. I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies, Weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone; My forever grief is full of long past reveries, Within my soul the forever sorrow still moans. Weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone, Yet from this pain something beautiful was to be; Within my soul the forever sorrows still moan, And I write from a scarred soul my sad poetry. Yet from this pain something beautiful was to be, The sorrow I keep within me is dreadful; And I write from a scarred soul my poetry, These scars on my soul are beautiful and painful. _________________________ November 17, 2015 Submitted to the contest, Chose A Topic sponsor, Russell Sivey Topic Chosen: D, Heartbreak and Loss(old/new poem)
