All That Remains

Without feeling
Within without
The roughest hands
Bring screams and shouts
Never pleasure
Naught left but pain
Ashes that trail
All that remains
Upon the skin
The story told
Of a love
That has grown cold

      Thanks cat! I usually write much longer poems so this was a challenge for me!

    Heartfelt Words

    What a beautifully written poem but so very sad. Yes nothing sadder then when a beautiful love grows cold. I know the feeling well. For some its a part of life and the chance you take when you give your heart away.

    Thank you for sharing.
    hugs and Smiles

    Bless You,
    Sandy

    Certainly when a love grows cold those ashes do leave their trail of destruction don't they! A very sad and deep take on the prompt!
    Thank you

    Well done, didn't see the picture that goes with the write but I like it none the less. I don't think the ending causes confusion, I went through and read it a second time and it made sense to me. Best of luck in the contest.

      Thanks poet! I'm glad it wasn't to obscure. The picture was great and really inspired me with this one!

    at first it can be taken so many different ways, but the ending adds a little bit of confusion to it that leaves me guessing.nevertheless it is splendid.good luck in the contest and
