A Poem of a Past Love

My past lover
My man of crafted memories
The stranger of my dreams
The one who haunts my mind
With every shadow that passes
With every evening that falls
I can't help but think of you

When I see you, in the dark of the night
Your face is obscured, hazed with mist
Your scent, intoxicating, filling the air
When I extend my hand, reaching for you
I find the closer I am, the farther you are
Still, I run, I pursue your figure
To catch a glimpse of you, to hold you in my arms

But just when I catch ahold of you
You disappear, vanish into the break of dawn
And I awaken from my reverie
A fresh wave of tears, spilling from my eyes
My heart, throbbing as if burned
My entire body, quaking as if I had a nightmare
My skin, cold like a brick of ice

Blood, streaming from the wound within my heart
A puddle of crimison liquid around me
My pale fingers, covered with the sticky substance
Each drip lancing through me like a sword
One stab after another, slicing across me
Leaving me limp and weak, devoid of emotion
Yet, only I can see these symptoms, these injuries

My mind swirls with thoughts of you
Questions, inquiries, wonders
None of which have been answered
But I wish for, I desire for, so desperately
I want to cling to your hand, entwining our fingers together
To hear your voice, to speak, answering my question
"When, my love, when will you finally return to me?"

My past lover
My man of crafted memories
The stranger of my dreams
The one who haunts my mind
With every shadow that passes
With every evening that falls
I can't help but think of you​

Just a free-verse poem I have written. :)​

 

Overall good poem....good length....no rhyme but its good to see poems that don't too.....as for atmosphere...guess I'm just more of a happy poem person.....

 

Well, it is a free-verse poem, which is why there's no rhyme....but anyway, I'm glad you liked it for the most part. :sweatdrop:

 

Ditto... except I like the melencholic ones... I can relate to them better... so, I like this one...

 

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. :)

 

Thanks, somehow this depressed me and now I want to cry, hope you are happy, and don´t worry, is not only because this, and no, this time I am not going to cheer up, and don´t say sorry because that is not going to change a damn thing, and yes, I am too a little angry, that is part of the depression, and like I said, this is not only because this.

 

That's a really good poem. It's sweet, but kind of sad. I like it though.

 

Well, since my poems depress you, never read any of my poems...okay? All the time I write poetry, they're often sad, emo-like, or depressing...so please don't...I don't want you hurt or depressed anymore...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :)

 

I like a lot really nice thumbs up

 

thats really good.... a bit depressing for you though XD <- smile

 

Thanks, glad you liked it! :) :glomp:

Why does everyone keep saying that? XD lol All my poetry is basically depressing...except for a few, but that's just me. lol Anyhow, glad you liked it! :)

 

No, not in that way, somehow it hurted me.

 

It did? I really didn't mean to...I don't even know how, but see, since I don't even know what it is, please don't read my poems...they're all similar like this...
