Woody Francescone Poet Free verse

My Heart Was Ripped Out

My heart was ripped out
Was ripped out of my chest
Leaving a hole
A bottomless hole
A black hole
Deeper than the great abyss
Wider then space itself
Where temperatures are so cold
Where thermometers cease to register
Where no sound emanates
Thought is impossible
And there's no ability to feel
Even if touch were possible
Things would just crumble as you tried
And vanish never to be seen again
A place where life ceases to exist
And no hope is possible
My heart is gone
Gone from my chest
Not sure if I will ever 
Find it again

Constance La France April 14, 2019 at 3:06 PM Woody, this is a great free verse, full of agony and pain, of lost love, wonderfully penned, well done ~ Woody Francescone April 14, 2019 at 4:06 PM I have to respond as I responded to someone else... "Unfortunately it was just a portrayal of the emotions I saw someone else experiencing, I can't take credit... But Ty"

David Mchattie April 14, 2019 at 1:55 PM As they say, better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. The only consolation for this poor person is that we've all been there. Stay frosty my friend. Woody Francescone April 14, 2019 at 2:01 PM Agreed, it's all to which builds the character... TY
