Honeysuckle

 

January brings back porcelain memories,
Just as the blizzard surges out from behind winter’s sky
He left a glacial dagger in my humbled heart

February leaves me trapped
In labyrinth from past discrepancies
I feel so alone

March arrives with a monologue
Such a bittersweet symphony
Of dripping honey coated lies

April flashes me a new moon
Foolish illusions dancing beneath
I see radiance in his eyes;
He’s in love

May tosses over a clear portrait
Her beautiful finger sealed off with two-karat diamonds
And a mermaid’s dress so sparkling white
--She is proclaiming her vows to my prince

June embarks on a more blissful note
I’m on Flight 147 to a world away from past memoirs
Heading towards the Tahitian Islands
Where I can breathe

July; the past reveals its brutal face
I pity myself for losing the only man
Worth my tears
I wallow in my burdens
While these summer nights bloom with romance

August I see my reflection in the mirror
And I despise what I see
But I enjoy the scent of honeysuckle
As I sit on the edge of my untouched bed,
The sheets still remain tousled with rose petals
The smell of his fading cologne still lingers on his pillow
--I hold it close to my heart

September must love me dearly
For it sent me another man
Yet something is missing,
I still don’t feel complete

October leaves gently fluttering around me
Two years ago today would mark our anniversary
Reality awakens me;
I am nowhere near ready to move on
--Here comes the spoon and a tub of vanilla ice cream

November I decide that he is not the one for me
I cannot commit myself to a life of fairytale fibs
With a man so sweet now
Only to turn sour afterwards

December strolls along the snow-covered streets
I see his hand delicately rubbing her belly
--She’s going to have a baby
But I should be the woman kissing him ever so passionately
I should be the woman with his little bundle of joy sleeping in her womb
I should be the woman with that ring on her finger

She stole my life from beneath me,
She destroyed every ounce of bliss I besieged
I hate her.
I love him.

As the seasons changed,
My love for him only grew;
I stayed the same plain Jane I have always been,
And I lost him
Like the sun loses its light when the sky turns grey
What shall one do when their world comes tumbling down?
I am such the hopeless wreck

    I Loved this

    Loved the end
    "She stole my life from beneath me,
    She destroyed every ounce of bliss I besieged
    I hate her.
    I love him.

    As the seasons changed,
    My love for him only grew;
    I stayed the same plain Jane I have always been,
    And I lost him
    Like the sun loses its light when the sky turns grey

    I am such the hopeless wreck"

    Great Write -♥Amanda♥

    Ah... the never-ending cycle that is moving on. It's one thing to move on when you can still remain friends... but when he loves someone else... it makes the pain sharper and more resistant to the idea of subsiding. When someone becomes your entire life, it gets to the point where nothing can take that place. And if nothing can fill that empty place, then how can you ever move on?
    Great job, and I hope that things get better for you.

    Very heartfelt and emotional, I can feel your pain in every month as it progresses. I love the idea of using the different months to show its progression, and it was a very tragic and emotional write, good work and best of luck

    A great concept of defining the emotional stages in degree of months. The pain, the emotion, the seething angst for what is; and not what could have been. Thank you so much for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!

    Wow!

    This is beautiful and tragic. From begining to end I was captivated. You have shown us an entire year of your life in beautifully scripted snapshots. I am almost at a loss for words. This piece is so eloquent and private-as though you have opened your diary for all to see. I kept waiting and hoping for a happy ending...a new love for you, to see you move on from grieving over the loss of to getting really angry at HIM not her. I am amazed at how this poem held me in its grasp.
    If this piece is true to life, I truly hope that you somehow come to know that your value is not decreased because HE is no longer part of your life. He is simply not worthy of you! Your prince is still trying to find you, and when he does...you won't even care to remember THIS guys name.
    Lovely write. Thank you for sharing.

    Ok, now I have to go find something a bit more up-beat. This one has me feeling sad.

    (One little suggestion...the spoon and Ben and Jerry's part kinda interrupted the flow (for me anyway) Ben and Jerry just seemed out place amongst such beauty.) But, I do understand the whole eating out of sadness thing.
    Take care and be happy
