PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you wake up screaming, breathing heavy,

in a puddle of sweat and tears.



you realize your palms are bleeding,

your hands, clenched tight.



you're crying as you bleed,

as you dig even deeper.



all you saw was blood, and sudden black,

a crimson river, on an ivory body.



you realize that the body was your own,

as you look upon the scar over your chest.



the empty cavity that once held your heart,

now barren and devoid of all love.



your heart was stolen and then fiercly broken,

shattered to a million pieces, as if it were glass.



the warmth you once felt inside has passed on now,

and all you feel is cold.



your sudden sullen fears have been reborn,

in nightmare, you can't dream.



there is no rest for heartless men,

there is only fear of vengance.



one day you will find your keeper,

and you will steal his heart as your own.



a free woman you shall be,

and the beast naught but a void.



love is a fragile thing, if you haven't known,

from twilight to twilight,

birth and rebirth,

death and parting,

rising to a newfound land.
