Poem - Beating Heart

October 16, 2009 11:29 PM EDT

views: 218 | comments: 22

Ripped my beating heart from my chest!

Still feel the scar under my breast.

The tears have stained my cheeks,

burned the blue from my eyes.

There you were in the blink of an eye.

Your golden hair has been ripped from memory.

I still want to hold you endlessly.

My cheeks are scarred as I fall upon your memory,

bittersweet symphony...

Aztec images, Emo, could be Punk
Your lover was not Johnny Rotten
Scarred cheeks - your face I thunk?
Get a new man - he'll soon be forgotten

It doesn't have to be a break up. Death causes the same feelings. I was blessed to have him in my life.

amy r. Oct 19, 2009, 2:51pm EDT

Its very true. I have had that happen, too.
