Tainted memories
Make a deceiving disguise.
Each caress and whispered name;
Heated flesh is no more than a lie.
I cry for you.
Always longing,
cut me up inside,
desperately searching,
what did you find?
This agony is agonizing.
Take this rusted key
to my heart.
Fragile and breakable.
Promise that we'll never be apart?
If you hold me, I'll hold you.
Delicate symmetry holds beings in balance.
Motion isn't motion;
silence isn't silence.
Sacrifice shows devotion.
Tears speak louder than words.
A choking heart
starts to gasp.
A need to break out of this hold,
this grasp.
Bleeding and broken, numb and blind.
Helpless and alone;
with a last breath,
no farewells,
meet death.
Author notes
Take it as you will. However, the general idea of the poem that I had was that someone loved this other person so much that in the end, they couldn't take it anymore and ended up committing suicide. I had no intention to end the poem that way but.. it just did go that way. Anyways, enjoy! Also, for the contest, 'SPADES'

This is a great piece. It has a very romantic air about it and although it was really quite sad. Love is such a strange thing. We suffer for it even though it's meant to make us happy. This poem sort of illustrates this. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
