Left so many students killed 
On the very spot!

tears tearing from lashed sighs
run in wakes of blue
endless fountain of grief’s fall
wipe salt filled eyes

A gaggle of eight
swimming in a row. Below            
upturned eyes watching
the downy offspring parade.
A splash! now there are seven.

I endured four heartbreaking rejections for showing reflections.
I perhaps found the fifth man in this long karmic sequence.

Everglow

Today's the day
When all of the heartbreaking songs
Play at random
Today's the day
I don't skip them
In annoyance
Today's the day
I'll press play
And embrace the pain
Lovingly

The learning curve

From such loving trust to decrepitude. Heartbreaking. Another time.. wonderful.
Embrace the  learning curve of Identical polarities. Outcomes remain. Another penny drop, another goal another gain. ??

Premium Member Heartbreaking

A stray chocolate Weimaraner
On the left side of the road
Scooped up, yet lovingly licking a face
Whimpering in pain, yet wagging its tail
Poor thing's been struck
By a car. And it looks...bad.

One-Way Ticket

Phantom cities
Buried under chemical smell

Beasts digesting corpses
A Vomitus crush 
and a ticket to hell

Griefs and woes 
Nobody can spell

Souls out of shell
time to ring the bell 
A heartbreaking story to tell
Form: Sonnet

Premium Member Goodbye Forever

lips of parting lovers quivering
silent tears spilt in the dark
one last palpitating caress
of carnivorous hesitation

two wounded vulnerable lovers
shamelessly sharing in the agony
of heartbreaking defeat

Only one Dylan Murphy

Murphy you always had the biggest smile,
Heartbreaking to hear its goodbye for a while,
You put up a good fight, right til the end,
Such a lovely boy, and a good friend,
Haggot heast was your best crack by far,
May you be at peace now you're the brightest star.

Undivided

Pieces of history 
We clutch to our chests
Life changing 
Heartbreaking 

Devastation
 



These events 
Which seek to crush us
Do not
For they hold us together

Making us stronger 
 



More firm are we 
In our resolve
To be one nation
Under God

Indivisible

Sometimes

Some feelings plummet 
so deep, so quick
into the heart 
that only loneliness 
can help you
feel once more.

Some truths are 
so bitter, so painful
that only mortification 
can help you 
cope with them.

Some things are so heartbreaking 
that only your soul
can do the crying 
for them.

Premium Member Happiness Is a Child's Laugh

Happiness is a child's laugh, a soft kiss, or a gentle touch. Not necessarily in that order. My life has had many chapters - some wonderful, some heartbreaking - but all of them have written the story of the person I have become. I haven't always loved the book, but now I can see it has a happily ever after.

Premium Member In the Deep

touching heartbeats
running deep
two hearts
began beating
as one
love alone
you touch
my feelings

if i were 
to die
please leave
my body be
heartbreaking within
to see
yet not being able
to wipe away
loves teardrops

falling hurt
consumed emotion
in the other piece
of ones heart
touched in 
the deepest
part of heaven

The Other Woman

aches
heartbreaking
i have been misunderstood
mistakes
breathtaking
I never said I was good
pancakes
lovemaking
I will never attain sainthood
moments
so brief
Filled with loneliness
ailments
of grief
Plagued by emptiness
His existence is my bane
A fate I hate
poignantly
He leaves again
I wait 
patiently.

Death's Cold Hand


Struck by Death's cold hand, I stagger,
heartbreaking loss pulls me apart;
facing His sharp gruesome dagger,
struck by Death's cold hand, I stagger,
undone by His freezing swagger.
Steeped in darkness is my poor heart
struck by Death's cold hand. I stagger,
heartbreaking loss pulls me apart.
