A poem about a lost love, the end of a relationship leaving one shattered.

There is a pain so strong,

Every song on radio can’t possibly be yours

But they are!

Haunting!

Torturing!

Reminding me of someone so dear,

I was once near!

Life had become a gift!

A boon!

A reason!

A ray of the morning sun!

A divine shrine

Now a curse so numb!

This where another man

Now seeks pleasure

Which I cannot feel

I see him come to me

I smile and he smiles!

He is so happy,

If only he knew

I saw someone else,

Beyond what he touched!

Am I really sorry for him?

Or am I sorry that its too dead a feeling!?

I don’t know anymore!

It’s a doom

That I pray

Shall end soon!

Smoked and hazy

Blind but not deaf

Yet cannot feel of hear

But can see,

A heart that still beats

A heart that calls a name,

A heart that mourns shattered dreams!

Alas!

Faith failed

Through fingers it passed

Like fine sand

Like rain drops

Tears fell

A well of sunken dry eyes

I try to stop but I can’t!

Ruins of a castle,

A crumbling castle

Where life once dwelt!

But I live and I love

Withered for I have been forgotten!

Broken and shattered

Broken like a glass bottle!

Useless and unwanted!

To be thrown away!

To be crushed by the hands

Of a love I once knew.

The castle crumbles

Rubbles are the only witness!
