Bean Pole Poet Free verse

Torn

Loving you has opened a wound so deep
A wound created past lovers ago
A wound born of jealous grief
Of trust misplaced

Another scar ripped open and infected
Gasping for this poisoned air
With every failing breath I take
This sinking feeling in my chest 

My heart pounding with heavy ache
Slowly
In broken rhythm images sight unseen
 except inside my head..
This torn scar has failed me
Now Bleeding out
Blinding  bloody spout
Now losing sight of  you.

Where am I to go with this?
This pain with time has left me weak and tired.
That soft white light  once glowed and shared
 now dimmed
Now falling into darkness
I cant see you now.
I cant see you now

Love forgive this selfishness
Our innocence near ruined
Alone and howling at the moon.

Ink Empress November 28, 2023 at 11:20 PM A very poignant and sincere write that hits deep. From the very first line i felt so much, as you’ve woven so many emotions of being torn and heartbroken in such a seamless manner. Pleasure reading this from the home page. Very well delivered Bean Pole November 29, 2023 at 8:34 AM You are a true wordsmith I appreciate your thoughts.

Andrew John November 18, 2023 at 2:26 AM Love, torn flesh, blood, fading sight as something goes into the darkness - yep, all there. Nicely put, Bean. Bean Pole November 18, 2023 at 9:19 PM Thanks, Andrew. Words were hard won.

Janine Lever November 13, 2023 at 8:31 AM Your 'in broken rhythm' really struck home with me. Exactly what heartache is, it distorts the rhythm of our being. I loved the last line too, i think we have all been there,'alone and howling at the moon.' Great forceful emotion in this poem. enjoyed reading it. love janinexx Bean Pole November 18, 2023 at 9:19 PM Thank you, Janine
