She Remembers

mystic clouds at night
beneath an amber sun
casts a lovely glow..

her face illuminated
as tears freely fall
she trembles..

~as she remembers~

a sky of twinkling stars
which once guided her way
now dull, broken shards..

she falls to her knees
as the tide edges closer
cold and unforgiving..

his soft words
once a safe cocoon
now strife with contempt

~she sadly remembers~

she hugs herself tightly
rocking and wondering
where it all went wrong..

her heart is hurt
his loving friendship
touched her like no other..

~she tearfully remembers~

she opened herself up
with his gentle guidance
as best as she knew how..

his kindness moved her
with truth and with faith
for happiness she felt..

~she fondly remembers~

she knows her truth
as he feels his
the gift of his friendship..

~she will always remember~

The crush of heartbreak is so apparent in this emotive piece Lynn. I love the repetitive lines slightly changing, impractical. Wonderfully composed! 7 ; )

You always bare your soul in your writing or make us at least feel like the person in the poem. That is the power of your poetry, dear.

Oh Lynn. Good Morning. I have no words for this. This is more than marvelous. Such expression. The emotive factor is present. Everything is poetically right within this entry. Honestly. I so enjoyed reading it. It was an honor. Have a wonderful day. Well done in its entirety. PS you so appropriately utilized the repetition. Well executed

Hi Lynn, this is a truly wonderful write.The emotions are real and therefore this reader feels the pain in the words. Your poetry is a journey through emotions. Memories, the home of sorrow and joy. I do love the way you write Lynn. This is a seven and has to go into my faves. Hugs....Mike. XX

Such a lovely and heartfelt poem, Lynn. Memories such as these are there for keeps; they are too strong and emotional to fade away. I like how you broke up the poem into progressive sections. #7+ Warm regards // paul

Very well written Lynn, a touching write. I like the use of title lines that sets off each section. The emotions are tactile, I can feel them, makes me wonder what happened between them.
