Emma Mantle Poet Quatrain

Your Melody

You whispered me a love song
with the sweetest melody
perhaps you should have sung instead
a song of tragedy

The words you uttered reached my soul
and struck an inner chord
but now I'm haunted by your tune
each note a piercing sword

An unrequited lovers song 
that taunts me night and day
I long to have my soul at rest
your ghost I try to lay

Your shadow seems to follow
it just wont let me be
you seem to live inside my head
of you I can't be free

Perhaps deep down I can't let go
afraid you'll disappear 
for then I will be all alone
your melody no longer hear

But I need for someone else to come
and take the place of you
to sing to me a different song
with words that are brand new.

Johnny Sumler July 2, 2011 at 10:09 AM I really love your style and passion. So much inner-emotions in all of your writes! This is definitely why I had you as a guest at my table in my poem "A Poetry Convention".
