What a waste of our time.
Two fools holding fast to love
that was never ours to share.
Two fools whose souls brushed,
shining sparks of something.
Hiding our scars from view,
cling to the cover of dreams -
our aspirations, like poison,
fill our crooked, maimed hearts.
I'm sorry, so sorry, so so sorry.
I never meant to destroy your strength.
I only wanted to hold you,
take comfort in your pretty lies.
What a waste of your time.
A fool chasing an enigma,
a fool who's never seen my face.
There was never love and trust,
merely devotion, beating wildly.
Place your bets on deception,
throw the wool against our eyes.
A blurred reality that held nothing,
full of glitter that shined like pain.
Sparks of anger, pretty love fueled rage.
You're broken, so broken, so so broken.
I never noticed you were bleeding;
I only prayed for your salvation,
words uttered to vapid ceilings.
What a waste of my time,
catching smoke in a storm.
Always a fool in silly love,
a fool who saw everything too late.
Trace my hollow wounds,
cavities that echo in my heart.
A symphony of apathy and rage,
resonating, rising up inside,
swallowing the light and everything.
I am empty, so empty, so so empty,
covering the walls of my heart,
fortifying your favorite entrances.
You don't live here anymore.
Nothing lives here anymore.

What a sad, sad write, filled with so much raw emotion. I was truly touched by this poem. Love is such a wonderful and yet painful thing. There is a depth of longing and regret in here as well. A very well penned write as I have come to expect from you, always giving a new perspective to things. Love the last two lines...
You dont live here anymore.
Nothing lives here anymore.
Truly sums it up doesnt it? A perfect way to end this piece. Great job, as always. Keep up the amazing work.

A Very,Very sad poem
Sounds like you are hurting very bad but reread your poem - If two only hurt each other (as that's what I hear) - Then now smile and move on. You have a lot of talent in this. Please keep writing.

This is stunning. Such emotion is portrayed & the imagery blows my mind. Your word choice is excellent as well. Great write! ♥

Oh... gosh...
"shining sparks of something" didn't make much sense... you could've added some more detail to that.
But it was such good imagery! It was great!
