Hearts Hushed Demise

Our hearts danced together,

in a prolonged illusion I almost dared call peace.

The mystical sensation of your hand lingering,

touching my fingers, stroking my pride--

I almost died in a wave of perfect harmony.

Then I died worse than before,

in a place hearse, a demonic wave--

I was your beautiful plaything,

nothing to the very end.

Tears and fears tossed outside,

left only misery and a symptomatic ache,

that only a breakdown could describe.

We were supposed to have a beautiful ending,

with white icing cake, gold rings and family blessings.

The coroner in the corner targeted my soul,

when he turned to you and proposed,

"Let's destroy her, let's destroy her whole."

What a beautiful way to die inside,

when you know nothing lasts forever.

The sentiment of you and I, a happily never after--

one lie after another, told to quivering figure.

Sew me back up together, you're a great dress maker,

address my problem; what is it I do, to deserve this?

Make me a masquerade so I can see blood and chaos,

so the heavens died when my eyes closed shut,

never to open again to devotion or love.
It was a tragedy, no it was a beautiful remorse,

all dressed up in it's Sunday best, a banquet of hurt.

Maybe somebody can once again capture me,

but I doubt it much, I suspect a divine treason.

What a charismatic smile you sell on the doorstep,

to my heart of course, but I am not fooled,

I've seen all the flashy smiles and fluttering eyelashes before.

I can hear the sound of Celine Dion screaming memories,

that you helped me make once and now would elude to forget.

Such delicacy found between us, when we kissed and held eachother,

late night talks never were my thing, though you soled them me perfect.
I tried a little something special, a remedy to my shattering soul,

a subconscious little sarcastic joke; 'It's never over, til it's totally gone."

What a foolish girl, I write on and on with a pained expression,

with the tears that sting my porcelain cheeks etching atrocities across my face,

I loved and lost, I lost my love and now nothing can take his place.

That's my fault, I should've done more, perhaps I shouldn't have done so much,

a classic game of blame and self abuse, let me drive this scapel into your brain.

What a messed up head, the audience screams behind a painted veil,

with rosemary scented candles to calm my spirit, bastard past,

why will you not dwell in endless sleep, where you cannot haunt me?

I'll move on when the phoenix's lament has ceased to ring out loud,

where my heart will be charred, perished like our past image.

Nostalga stained fantasies, of our lips slightly parted in an embrace,

a solemn vow expressed through loves sacred pledge of you and me--
lets just forget now, let me soar in dream-like memoirs where I can be,

at least for some time, out of this world, in a place I want to be.

You just tore a divine meaning to my life, to our hearts--just by the words,

that you swore you'd never utter under any pretence; we cannot be together.

Author notes

Deep. Definately freeverse. Abstract.

I thought I'd advance my language in some parts.
My writes often are very basic in language and I thought I'd add something with a little more zeast.
Still about lost love and heartache. What ever else? My love, my true love, is not with me - these writes wont change for a while.

    So deep. tThe story you tell with words here is so painful to read. It kills me just to read someone having to go through such pain. Love this part:

    I can hear the sound of Celine Dion screaming memories,

    that you helped me make once and now would elude to forget.

    Such delicacy found between us, when we kissed and held eachother,

    late night talks never were my thing, though you soled them me perfect.
    I tried a little something special, a remedy to my shattering soul,

    a subconscious little sarcastic joke; 'It's never over, til it's totally gone."

    For someone who usually has simple poetry, this escape from that was very very good.

    You used the language very wwell, and made the reader understand the thoughts, and feelings of the narrator.

    Great job

    What a profoundly sad tale of lost love. Reading this I felt as if I was veiwing the scenes through a corpses eyes, not able to affect any change, only to witness the eventual sad outcome. Nicely written, thanks for sharing my Bandit friend.

    Interesting piece my friend and fellow poet. You advanced your vocabulary but I have not advanced mine. I am sad to say that some of your piece was lost to me. But from the parts I could understand I found it to be not only touching but heartfelt as well. great job poet.

    This is beautiful but sad at the same time. I love the contrasts in the piece. I am sorry this didn't work out for you.

    This was a bit long for my own personal taste and therefore hard to stick with, there were a few parts that were a little confusing for me but those have already been mentioned by others. all of that aside, this seems like a very painful write which is stretching you to your limits right now. i do hope things get better for you. be well and be blessed

    Hope I relate!

    There were a couple things I found cliché, like comparing skin to porcelain, the masquerage reference, the phoenix reference, but most of it was very nicely said. I know exactly how you feel.

    Liked the phrasing of this, "The coroner in the corner"

    There are a few places that you might like to revise - such as: "in a place hearse", "when we kissed and held eachother", "though you soled them me perfect", and "let my drive this scapel"... the first and the third don't particularly make sense; the second 'eachother' is two words; and the last there is a spelling mistake, and it should be 'me' instead of 'my'... but apart from those... this is a good poem... I like the emotion behind it and the way that it is written adds to the effect... well done

    Keep writing...

    forlorn feelings felt.

    Someone accessed your innermost feelings and screwed them up and put them in the circular file.

    you did advance in the use of vocabulary and I had to stretch in order to understand it, which I admit I don't completely. I can see it is about great pain of course and death; death of love...it is a bit long for my attention span, but still good I think.

    very emotional and touching... I agree with RI in that though it is abstract, your points are still clear. Thank you for sharing

    Abstract, yes, but not so much so as to make it completely incomprehensible, which is a definite plus. It is an emotional piece, one in which you well express your pain.
