My life was once an empty canvass
until you poured rainbows ink
upon my yellowish page
Your laced promises once flowing my veins
is now but a monochrome nocturne
embracing my tattered soul
crucifying the aura of illustrated madness
My spine had learned to inhale harsh voices of your falling stars
letting charcoal clouds creep my drooping eyelashes
inky scars you left is as vivid as dark moonlight
forging branches of my solemn sky
Sweet lyrical notes of you that I kept
is now a desolate song
swept away by dark flows of mournful winds
And as the haunted twilight stretches her arms
I bathe snapshots of discolored souvenirs
writing the story of my tears
behind dark drapery of the night
weaving tapestry of my disillusion
blossoming from remnants of your dying embrace

I imagine, if this is a true story, that you never had the chance to hold this person, not even just once.

Remnants of a past filled with love...
I think a lot of us know how this feels....
I think it's time to stop saying "it's forever" ..I think it's time to love today....
I felt all the sadness here with you...and I wished nobody had to go through feelings like this...
Hope your love is nice for you today

This poem holds so much sadness. I can feel the deep hurt.
The images your words create are very vivid, and your metaphors are brilliant!
You take the reader into your world of pain and heartache very effectively.
Excellent writing. Good luck in this contest!
