Heartbreaking In Leaves

A tree birthed in girl's heart behind the window
Wherever, however, old Aspens are made — 
And God was in green's time, Christ coming in gold.
The solo leaf that before my look just swayed — 
She dropped in the dark, though would her lost life grow.
While at Autumn's end, I remember her shade — 
Tree limbs

What If He Says That to Our Daughter

-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.

“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.

Late at night,
when silence drapes

Ode to the Hidden Tapestry

It seems my thoughts have been 
buzzing a long my skin, 
a hollow being filled 
with a sense of connection I had 
fought for too long. 
For being too much- 
not enough- 
always an in between within my own 
conflict. 
I have held hands with that inky blackness 
that resides a side from my soul,

Mortal Conflict

I would love to speak to you alone, 
No one could ever guess my aggressive tension.
I would like to call you a moron,
Years passed by, yet you are still in your reflection.

I would let go of my chain,
Oxygen creates a vague reaction in my infected brain.
I would let go of my disease,
The disease is heavier

Heartbreaking Wounds

amongst rubble, i see an old friend’s face,
her trip had separated our friendship.
she waves me over, but i was too late,
i needed her, and she chose to jump ship.
how could she do this to our long kinship?
anger boiled into dark rage and fury,
but that swift moment was no mystery,
the person to look down upon, was

Mesmerized by the fire in his warm eyes
Love played over my soul, softly glowing
Beautiful alive, like glorious skies
Singing wonders to my life, hopes growing
Feelings so perfect I could not disguise
Love so tender. my whole heart was showing
Breaking through the darkness, hushing my fears
Stirring my best dreams, silencing my tears

With him, I could feel my heart

Cross Road

Crossroad

It's funny how this has turned out.
I use to get flustered when you're around. 
Frantic beating of my heart.
Crazy change of my mood.
Now I realise that as much as I love you, I got to let go.
You're just not worth it.
You don't want my love.
Yet I gave you everything I got to offer.
I am a

Separating These Hearts Is So Heartbreaking

Living apart is that thought so unimaginable,
separating these hearts is so heartbreaking;
how could we hold hands and not be listening
to our breaths when silence is undeniable?

Let intuition put some sense in us,
as wise as we are, we can't go past that line
and not understand that staying together is fine;
how hard is it to give up

oh, gloomy tidings --- verily heart breaking news

Lamenting Appalling Heartbreaking Mistreatment

Lamenting appalling heartbreaking mistreatment...
nonagenarian father experiences at Normandy Farms

Though dead, I gauge
these past one hundred and four plus months
linkedin with Gregorian calendar page
mine mother would be aghast

at deplorable inhumane outrage
played out upon Normandy Farms -
Bluebell, Pennsylvania site
where papa (a pricey 
senior folk facility), he doth stage
his final showdown

consigning grim reaper
to tender body, mind, and spirit

A Poem You Never Read

To a man I've been loving
more than ten lunar eclipse,
In a cold morning and in a tranquill nights. 
You just never know, the most heartbreaking
this is still twelve me.
My unattainable sweetheart,
you're my favorite book I forget the way to read it.
Your face is so warm for me while I'm a stranger in your eyes.

But,
It won't

Premium Member''Heartbreaking Death''

 
I was with her when she left this earth
had been sitting by her bed (for days)
the curtains stirred and she gasped her last breath
it was 6-26-2015 and it was 7:43 pm
I felt an emptiness within my heart
an aching in my soul
the "death of a friend" is always hard
especially in one so young
cancer claims one
