Shattered Illusions

Take my guarded soul
This fight I can not hide 
My heart has been divided
A love so old now so cold
The words you do not say 
Crumble my life away
Shattered illusions
Breaking of china the porcelain was so fine

I climb every day to feel no pain
Heights oh so tall
We live in a seperate domain
You are dead like the roses you once gave 
I now sit and pray for my day
I want to crawl away 

Your touch is unwanted 
A duty of duty my skin feels disfigured
I close my eyes and hide through a soundless disguise
Each breathe upon my body Inside I cry
The act is so unwilling shamed upon my bones
Alone in this bed I am dead
I shut my eyes I am so dishonoured

A touch I wanted so much before 
Now throws me to the wall
Frozen intime I hide in my mind
No one can now find
A turning of time 
Scared from these years 
Not even my tears can drown away
Untill I can run away ......

The coldness, the dying of a past love. A newer freedom, want, life to be living cries in these powerful words Sarah. Another emotion filled gem from you >> James

Amidst its beauty life can be traumatic. With its beauty memories life can be crushing. This poem touches on the essence of such a reality. I like the theme of the piece and how it flows. Great job! Joseph
