Slivers of my heart
Shards of my soul
Scattered and lost
Beyond my control
In every new step
An old memory's pain
Feeling the absence of where my heart has lain
The comfort his touch brought still heals
His eyes were wise
His love was real
His absence leaves an aching void
With innocence lost and youth destroyed
The path we walked, though short
Inspired
Her lips were soft
Her touch was fire
In every sketch and every dance
Her embers burn with soot and ash
His passion fueled in me belief
His arms protected
Though love was brief
The loss of what was never known
Still lies in wait like brittle bone
Slivers of my heart
Shards of my soul
Like dust to the wind
I shall never be whole
Author notes
I have been feeling the absence of certain people who at one time or another meant a great deal to me...
Please tell me what you think

very nice. . . one question. . .Is feul supposed to be fueled and breif brief? Other than those things (yes I know I'm being a nazi about it), it's really well written and I can relate ever so much. . . *sigh*

Yes, those were supposed to be spelled correctly. Goes to show how well spell check works... *grumble* Thanx!

brilliant!
You have worded this void that you have felt about people that have ,'meant a great deal ',to you ever so well- There is so much of wonderful deep emoting here- the poem flows smoothly and effortlessly- the opening and the last stanza has a lyrical note to it,'Slivers of my heart Shards of my soul Scattered and lost Beyond my control'-'Slivers of my heart Shards of my soul Like dust to the wind I shall never be whole'
