Array ( [sid] => 139972 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Silver Shards of Sorrow [time] => 2008-01-23 12:09:13 [hometext] => For when the heart you give doesn't come back in one piece [bodytext] => Take a few more pills till I can’t feel the pain
Swallow them like pride in order to stay sane
Images and painful words flapping fretful through my brain
Sorrow and regret pounding down on me like rain

Sobbing cries echo emptily across the vast abyss
An unending chasm that was once filled with bliss
Soul torn to tatters by that unfulfilled kiss
How did I end up as broken as this?

I know not what drew my to you
Maybe your pain that I also knew
Lost we all others that we could cling to
Souls akin in loneliness and rue

I pushed you away, the one I held dear
Lashing out in pain and in fear
Unable to look at you or a mirror
Lost in my darkness the world all unclear

Couldn’t you see the truth in my eyes?
The unspoken words behind all the lies
The softly spoken whispers hidden in my cries
I guess you couldn’t which is why my soul dies

I couldn’t make you love me, but I suppose it’s my mistake
It wasn’t enough to love for love’s sake
My heart on a silver platter, there for you to take
But I guess I should have realized it was also yours to break

Your writing has a way of hitting me.
This one is a little to close to home
for me. lol. A great job though.
I hope to see more from you soon.
I know you are busy but I love reading
your new poems. This poem got an emotional reaction from me most certainly
and that is what good poetry is supposed to do. Take care , truly , doug

Your heart is on the page twined with each word.
This is poetry at its finest. You took something so painful and expressed it with such beauty and class.

Beautiful write though I am sorry for the pain you are feeling.

This one is really sad. I've been there, both the emotion and writing ones similar to this. I can definiterly relate. I need to add you to my list of "must read".

You've brought the emotion to life on this page.

Take care,

Tim
