Miss Sassy Poet Free verse

Tragedy In Black

The tragedy of love lost has returned
Whispering dark lies of jealousy
Taunting with brutal honesty
Vehemently insisting on the truth

Lingering hugs, and furtive kisses,
Air crackling with mutual infatuation
The light in his eyes is alive for another
And only reflections of sadness for us

Emptiness bleeding from my cracked heart
Revenge consuming every waking thought
Obsession eroding the innocence of my soul
I ceased to exist

As the last speck of my essence
Dissolved into a black pit of despair
I realized the tragedy of love lost 
Doesn’t have to be

Kenisha Shines August 20, 2015 at 11:10 AM Nicely put about the pain but we have to move on.life is worth more and many wonderful moments yet to come.have a great day.:) Miss Sassy August 21, 2015 at 7:53 AM I agree that life is important and we must move on. This poem was one of the contests here. The challenge was being able to write a poem with the words black, jealousy and obsession when it's not part of my personal experience. Thank you for the encouragement.

Robert Lindley August 20, 2015 at 7:41 AM You captured heartbreak so well my friend. There is a certain blackness in it that all feel when they are thus struck down. "As the last speck of my essence Dissolved into a black pit of despair" ^^ Exactly the feeling-- been there far too many times myself as a young man. Great poem. A7 Robert Lindley September 3, 2015 at 7:47 AM As a novice , you write some good poetry my friend. True, tis much harder to write poetry on a subject picked by another, as is the case with most poetry contests here. I see that you measured up to the task! Miss Sassy August 21, 2015 at 7:51 AM Thank you Mr. T Wrote this poem for one of the contests here. Required the words Black, Jealousy and Obsession and number of lines limited. Quite the challenge for someone who just started writing poetry last week, thanks to your prompting. Keep your fingers crossed.
