Shaking the wrinkles from my mind
Rubbing the nightmares from my eyes
I wake to the intimidation of being alone
Heartbeat echoes down empty halls
Pouring my coffee, I watch the sunrise
Pink hues cascade among the gray
Wrapped in a blanket of memories
Eyes mist yet I refuse to let go
Dressing in a coat dark as my regret
Brush my teeth and retrieve a fake smile
Blue eyes look back with no empathy
Fingers of guilt stroke my head
God forgives, yet I cannot let go
Walking in the shadows of conscience
She dances in the light of new love
Forever lost from my aching arms

Nice composition holding lovely metaphorical picture within and such sadness making the reader want to hug you and bring some comfort. Leaves the mind open to muse on what happened... Great piece!!

"She dances in the light of new love..."
Excellent work poet!

the emotion in this is apparent and many words here so true, to the depths of the heart it seems
wrapped in a blanket of memories
i love this line as we all seek that comfort of the warmth and cosy balnket of good times we have had it keeps us from being exposed to the cold truths
dressing in a coat dark as my regret
another great image here the dark coat covers us and the regret is all to often black, dark
and the last stanza is so achingly raw
forever lost from my aching arms
such a sad and yet tender line
this poem is very good and a well wrote piece
well done
