Teardrops Without Roses

From the skeleton's remains 
I say goodbye 
To a broken heart 
cold and lonely 

You never heard me cry 
In the whispering clouds 
Where dreams are blown away 
in broken promises 
that were made 

I never saw it coming 
Moister runs down as teardrops glisten
Thunder and lightning 
strikes the final chord
You brought on the storm howling
falling raindrops of hurt

You upon the ground crash
shattering remains of you 
This part of me cries love
The last of you I found 

From the remains 
this heart will blossom 
Ditching this skeleton aside 
Drawing a new start 

No more tears 
Just regrets 
Wasted years 
I say good bye

Wow! This one really tugged at my heart strings. A very emotional poem. And, it is one that I can really relate to. You are a very talented poet, Liam! You might like my poem titled, "Just Forget Me". Please, read it sometime. Also, thank you for the nice comments on my poem "A Fairy's Fantasy". :)
