Picture frame, your dust
coat shows how long it's been. How
I've tried to forget.
Now empty; the glass
broken. Such a dreaded night.
You stormed off...; "Please, Don't!"
But it was over,
the frame broke, and I removed
your photo for good.
Flashbacks show me now,
How terribly wrong we were.
Again and Again.
Blood trickled from me,
Pouring from my eyes; like tears.
Feverishly lost.
My thoughts; disheveled.
Thus far, pain never looked so
quaint; So beguiling...
I had a moment's
respite. Holding such sorrow;
Breath suffered with loss.
The degradation,
I had to suffer from you.
How could I still love?
With a soft sigh; held
between my fingers, I fell.
Knowing, we were done...
And nothing ever
hurt as much as this. To say;
"Forever, goodbye."
If only, dreams were
true. If only, we hadn't
fought. Such pain, from just...
-Sigh-, the pain which I
am brought. From but a single
empty Picture Frame.
Author notes
So this is of a past relationship. Or;;
Option #3
It ended due to degradation(Or being demoralized), and always having fought.
It was a painful end, but not so much as the relationship itself.
Oh yes, and I'm still working on rhyming and haiku's, guys.
So forgive me!

Life's great tragedy
How we love those who do not love us, how we give of ourselves to those that would forever take. Let those tears shed become the knowledge that in love all is like in war.
Suffer no more to the hands of the ungrateful that you may yet learn to hold and cherish a truly loved one whom will never faulter nor cause you tears except for those of joy.
I like it, I like it so.

Truly
I've been trapped by misery the last two days.
I don't know how
I don't know why
But it has been some of the crappiest days of my life.
Other than that, not bad. I've been happy^.^
Until ...Thursday.
But nothing I can't overcome.
Yourself?
Oh I know!
We need to start a conversation again!
It's been too long!
And thank you, I really appreciate it! -

this was fine without the rhyme. i'm sorry that you had to be in a relationship like this. i know it hurts, but at least you don't have to deal with the fights and pain anymore. i liked the picture frame idea. it was very interesting.
But it was over,
the frame broke, and I removed
your photo for good.
i liked those lines the best. the whole poem was good. thank you for your entry. good luck in the contest. -

It was hard. But it's the hard times of life that make us stronger.
Thank you!
It means a great deal to me.
