Sometimes,
In the back of my mind,
I see you
As clear as yesterday
The picture in my head
Came before the lies
Before the dark overtook you
Before you used me
You were smiling,
In the picture,
Your arms around me,
Holding me tight,
As if you’d never
Let me go
But now you’ve thrown me away,
And everything
That picture stood for,
Just falls away,
Colors melting
In the rain
Run away,
Run away,
To the tangerine skies
Behind which
The silver moon lies,
And as the fire dies
Surrender to the closing darkness
Here will my heart
Find its rest

Again I find this poem to hold truth in my life, as I walk alone, his child in my womb..

so sad. the pain is so intense. I was almost crying just reading this poem. Loved this part:
But now you’ve thrown me away,
And everything
That picture stood for,
Just falls away,
Colors melting
In the rain

i love this poem
great poem you write sort of like me im thesouldragon -
This is fantastic
exactly what I wanted again
I love the rhyming pattern - it was different but good
and the emotion was so strong
i could completely relate to it - the whole way through
it is such a hard thing to do
well done and good luck in the contest
thanks for entering
