PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You cry slow, dirty tears

They roll down your cheek

A sweet silence surrounds us so I'd rather not speak

Indulge in the quiet

Appreciate still

I'll write down the words with ink and a quill,

"My darling, I'm sorry, it's all a mistake. I've had all the pain that my poor heart can take."

Alas, a word spoken,

"My heart too is broken."

"Shhh...", I gestured

And you took on the notion



Again I lift my instrument making melodies from pure heartache

Flowing with the steady sound

Of each miserable breath you slowly take

"End it now before it's too late. Comfortably numb is my present state. However, horrible is that to begin to know hate."



You let out a sigh

Watching you carefully form tears in your eyes

My spirit has died

"I don't understand if you love me so, why continue to let arguments grow? Why leave me wondering with each word you said? Why turn away late night in our bed? Why call her name instead of mine? Why let me stray from The Divine?

It's over, don't speak. No need to explain. Don't worry, I know. It's time that I go. To you, all my blessings I send. But you know and I know this chaos must end."



I stand up straight and look away

Tell my heart I won't be back

Begin to walk and turn again

And place my pen where I once sat

The silence was peaceful but my soul was shook

One last look in your eyes I took

I brake down in tears

Slow, dirty tears

This was the moment I always had feared

We've forsaken each other

There's nothing more left

Now comes the search for the meaning of breath
