Bleeding Heart

A love forbidden to be,
Two hearts combined eternally in love,
Vowing to never leave each other’s side,
Vowing to always love,
Vowing to be each other’s only,
Vowing to make each other happy.

Me standing in a meadow,
Waiting for my love to appear,
Then,
From across the field of flowers,
There stands my love,
My legs start to move,
You become closer,
My legs moving faster and faster,
You getting closer and closer,
Now,
I reside in your arms.

There,
In that meadow,
In your arms,
I look upon your face,
Knowing danger lurks behind the trees,
But not caring,
For I am with you.

You look upon my face,
I upon yours,
Our lips become entwined,
You hands move gently down my back,
Lost in this moment,
Not wanting it to end,
Our bodies become one,
As we lie in the field of flowers,
Our love,
Being vowed onto each other.

Then,
Rain gently starts to fall,
Then begins to fall harder,
And harder,
Voices come from the woods,
Then soldiers appear,
Carrying their weapons,
Two lovers in the mist discovered,
Danger arising.

Then,
From behind me,
Someone grabs my arm,
Ripping mine and your lips apart from each other,
Pulling us away,
Separating us,
With their powerful grasps.

They grab you,
Take you,
Beat you,
They said they warned you,
Tears falling heavily from the sky,
Tears that never stop,
As they take you,
I shout,
NOOO!

You can’t leave,
You vowed,
You said you were forever mine,
Why,
Why must our love be forbidden,
Why must we separate from each other,
Why?

I struggle to get out of their arms,
You struggle,
But they beat you,
You fall to the ground,
They pull you back up,
Blood pouring from you tired body,
Into the woods they take you,
Then,
One last scream.

A scream of pain,
A scream of agony,
A scream that shrouds the earth,
Cuts into my soul,
Shatters my heart within,
A scream representing death.
I am thrown into this cold cell,
A place I do not know,
Your blood is upon my clothes,
Mixed with mine from my cuts,
My heart bleeding for your touch,
Bleeding for your kiss,
Bleeding for you to be beside me,
My happiness vanished,
You gone,
Our love murdered by the wrath of villagers,
You taken,
Beaten,
Killed,
Me left in this dungeon of darkness to die,
A hostage of the night,
No one to save me,
My soul vanished.

All that’s left is a body,
A body that sits in this cell,
Stares off into the distance,
As if looking in a broken mirror,
And seeing,
A bright red heart on the outside,
Slowly taken over by a sea of black.

Blood turns cold and freezes,
The sea of black flowing from the heart into the outside world,
Killing everything,
All life in the outside world,
Withers away,
Turning the world black,
As the heart bleeds out.

Only one thing can save me now,
And that is your love,
Your touch,
Your kiss,
Your smile,
Your way of happiness.

My soul searches the endless earth,
Searching for your heart,
The heart it longs for,
The heart that can make my heart stop bleeding,
The heart that vowed to be mine for eternity,
The heart taken,
The heart,
That my happiness,
My love,
My soul,
Resides in.

Option #4--Dark/Depressing

Favorite color is purple.

This is how I felt when my boyfriend broke up with me, so it was a tragic time for me, and I felt like we were killed cause people couldn't stand us being in love and happy so they made up some lies so would broke up and it worked. So I wrote this poem to help me with my emotions and this tragic time.

    That was totally not what I was expecting. The rain cued me in a little but it still caught me off guard. Extremely heartwrenching and beautiful. So full of emotions. Thank you for sharing!!

    Indeed a tragedy.

    Ah forbidden love....it is one of the worst pains to endure.
    I somewhat can relate, for I was involved with one whom society and family did not approve of.
    It ended with my parents sending him on a plane back to Ontario.
    That was nearly four years ago, but I will never forget that morning we parted hands, and hearts.

    When your in love, the two souls become one, and when one person is taken, the other's soul goes with them. True indeed.

    The shortness of your stanzas make this read fast paced and keeps the reader's mind on the story you have woven here. I did pray that in the end the two had found eachother, but, like most realities, that was not so.

    Very nice write.
