How Could You

Your  arms were my castle 
Your words were my battle 
But in a twinkle of an eye 
You said goodbye

Now it's a million degrees below zer in my blood
It's like lm buried 50 feet underground
I'm drawing in my own world of loneliness
And in my thoughts of sadness

You left isolated and deserted 
Now lm feeling rejected
My life has turned into an unending highway
In whose days are a nightmare
My heart is bleeding in silent tears 
And just like my heart 
My life is shattered into a thousand pieces

The silence of your laugh 
The sudden vanishing of your face
The absence of your dance
And the muteness of your voice
Is slowly killing me

I walk in the empty streets with shattered dreams
I lie awake to miss you with unfulfilled wishes
I eat daily with everlasting regrets
Although with a hallowed place in my heart
Only you can fill 
I say back off loneliness
And hello tenderness

Rutendo, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
