[bodytext] => Is it true you have no heart?
Not pang nor fear could stay your hand,
From dealing out the cruelest fate.
...So strike me down without a thought,
Destroy that which I cherish most,
And ravage all with savage pride.
Till nothing can reveal trust,
Just selfishness where flourished love,
And pain where memories died.
~*~
Leave nothing for the willing heart,
To take and bend to heal the void,
Your vicious gesture tore inside.
{But know that I will not remain,
Trapped in that which harbours sin,
For though in you resides just pride,
I have only love within.}

I love the first strophe-"not pang nor fear could stay your hand" tells me something about the souless nature of the protagonist.
I get a nice person not responded to in a nice way from this. Thoroughly enjoyed.

When I feel the words reach out to me this is true art. You captured emotion and structured each word accordingly.

Sweetie, I love this one. So raw and honest!
I still say the final stanza is noteworthy of brilliance.
It speaks of so much more than what is written and
really provides an abundance of food for thought.
If only there was a way we could truly see the
world (and any given situation) through another's
eyes .. how tremendously understanding and
caring would we then be? And how beautiful life
would then become? *sigh*
There is such a gentle and caring way about you ..
even through a tortured write such as this.
*hugs you tightly tons*

Phil..
It's beautiful..
what a finale~ the scheme of rhyme is so gentle.. and that it couples a powerful query as well, makes this more than profound..
Truly-
B

A very powerful poem, which seems to depict the struggle between a healthy love versus an unhealthy selfish prideful love. I personally feel the title is appropraite. A s to what is missing, perhaps nothing in the poem, but rather what could have been.....
Well done, Philly

Dearest Phil~ how sad your write is my dear friend. Even in its sadness it is written to perfection. It shows the strength of your beautiful heart and its will to move on. An honest and emotional piece. Chin up sweet girl. Wishing you the very best always my dear friend. Take care.
