A tear for I,
I desperately cried,
Spare a tear for me.
For torn in half - I watched it so,
My heart’s one legacy.
A legacy-no bounds of joy,
Not ready for the pain,
Your cold words, eternal remembrance,
It’s worse than being chained.
No regret you felt,
Although for the ‘us’ I cried,
Our love had since ebbed away,
Just like the ocean’s tide.
Your heart had changed, waned like the moon.
Never to wax back.
And so you leave me presently with roses-
dead and black.
Now say you a last cruel goodbye,
And with glistening tears you leave me to cry.
And so--
A tear for I,
I brokenly cried,
Still knowing ‘tis useless to plea,
for you to possibly return,
my heart’s one legacy.

Deep poem, Jessica. I just joined AllPoetry today...and I've read so many love poems... Yours is good. ^.^
And actually, I did guess Emily Dickinson because she's always the first poet I think of, especially when you mention tis a "she." lol. Mainly 'cause I did a project on her for Kingsberry's Poetry elective last year.
Post more poems!!! =] -
by, 'words was sad', do you mean the wording was bad?
or the emotion of the poem was sad? -
Good
I thought it was beautiful. The words was sad
