Her Breaking Heart

The sound of her breaking heart pierces my mortal soul. Each sigh; each moan; each falling tear splinters my heart as well. Especially, because she sobs not for me.

One word: wow. It's beautiful yet painful. I felt the emotions portrayed in this poem. It reminds me of the phrase "beauty to ashes", yet it reminds me of the reverse: "ashes to beauty", because the beauty of the poem is shattered by the agonizing feeling associated with the poem and, still, the very expressions of the agony (the way it was expressed, the words used, etc.) and the way the pain hits the reader without knocking him/her over allows for a beautiful poem or work.
