Emptiness fills this cell
draining once affections
through my veins
drip dropping
to floors.
The scarlet paintings
of who loves whom
as tears weep
to mix concoctions
of agony.
Minds race through
closed doors
shouting to release;
as anchors hit bottom
what good is reason when yours'
is sleeping with her
As meanings are lost
to his new loves' affairs.
I sip in silence
in broken down ships
sinking to the bottom;
This misery is endless
in a hopeless sea of disposed.

Very good! And quite sad. A lover's affair is never easy to handle. It actually sucks pretty damn bad. You did a great job portraying the emotion in this piece. Good luck to you and thank you for entering!
