Love collapses to the floor
Clutching Her bleeding heart
Her hand still twined in Blind Faith’s
Desperate not to part.
She cries and screams Her Sorrow
This emptiness She cannot contain
She reaches out for Loneliness
To help her heal the Pain.
But Loneliness, Love finds
Is full of dark and shade
With a soul akin to a blacked stone
He sees Love as a game.
Love, terrified, unbelieving, and
Weeping in Despair
Turns around to face Blind Faith
and finds that She’s not there.
Once again Alone
Love begins to wilt in shame
And in a shadowed corner
Catches the devious eyes of Pain.
Pain, a malicious thing
Smirking in delight
Glides silently toward Love
Reveling in her plight.
“My dear, why do you cry?
Death is nothing to fear.”
Love looks up, disbelieving
And sheds another tear.
“I do not lie, my Love
I never speak untruths.
I find myself rather sad
You see me as uncouth.”
Love, with hope returning,
Smiles up at Pain
And Pain, ever cunning,
Lets Her hope in Vain.
He gathers Her into His arms
Promising ne’er to leave
And Love feels Herself again
Clutching at His sleeve.
She does not see the forms He passes
The faces of Envy and Wrath
Love does not notice the way Pain takes
Nor the Gates to Death’s Path.

Its an odd style for me, but its just a way for me to stretch my wings and get used to writing again.

Very good. I'm glad that I was able to read poem about actual emotions. I really enjoyed all of your comparison about the types of person love, pain, loneliness, blind faith, and such would be like. I truly enjoyed your poem, and I'm glad I stopped in to read one of your poems. The fairest of farewells, A Dreamer Awake.
