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
