It has become embedded in my heart.
It is a slow growing thorny vine
which punctures my heart.
It bleeds sorrow and despair for a love
that never was and never shall be.
It is a slow bleed that drains
all hope, all passion, all dreams.
I am left with a hollow core.
I look down at the crimson pool
which has become diluted with
tears cried in vain,
heard by no one
for a love so wrong
that even Venus
would not approve.
Can the tears fill my heart
and make me feel whole again?
Will the saltiness burn, imitating
passion's fire? Or will the tears
feed the vine as it encases my heart
where only the love remains, but life has fled?

'What do you do with a love that cannot live but will not die?'
It has become embedded in my heart.
It is a slow growing thorny vine
which punctures my heart.
It bleeds sorrow and despair for a love
that never was and never shall be.
It is a slow bleed that drains
all hope, all passion, all dreams.
I am left with a hollow core.
I look down at the crimson pool
which has become diluted with
tears cried in vain,
heard by no one
for a love so wrong
that even Venus
would not approve.
Can the tears fill my heart
and make me feel whole again?
Will the saltiness burn, imitating
passion's fire? Or will the tears
feed the vine as it encases my heart
where only the love remains, but life has fled?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
