My cheeks streaked with tears,
my eyes tired and full of fears.
My mind, bittsweet memories,
you're gone, I am without ease.
You are the only one for me.
My hand cold without your touch,
my heart torn without a crutch.
My life, changed without balance,
no reason to strive, no challenge.
You are the only one I need.
My cheeks, without a rosy blush,
my hair, tangled and unbrushed.
My world, crashing down on me,
lost underneath the falling debris.
You are what's left, my memory.
Author notes
My prompt is:
3. Read this quote by Edgar Allan Poe, "We loved with a love that was more than love. " How does this quote stir your emotions/opinions about love? What is love to you? Pain? Beauty? Show me love that has never been shown before. Teach me love. Write me a poem that makes me feel the sadness, the beauty, of love. You can go either way, the good side of love or the bad side of love. Write something that will stir my heart of stone.
Hope you enjoyed it.
