Hope perches on a branch in my heart
waiting patiently for spring to come;
She looks out of her broken window
wondering where the cold comes from.
Love is a tired old woman in the
depths of my soul, fatigued and dismayed;
Not knowing what should come naturally,
she sits in the dark afraid.
There outside an empty corpse
love tries to breathe life into me
Almost unwillingly, hope accepts just
enough love to survive, just barely
Because all that is within her
knows that love ends with pain.
the voice inside reminds her that no one
can ever take away her stain.

Well written, Christina! One never knows, but fortunately that heartbreak does not happen all the time. Congratulations on your 20 years. With me, this year we counted 44 years of marriage and all to the same woman! 🙂

There is really heartfelt pain and longing in your words. It's beautifully written. I really felt it.
This goes into my favourites for sure.
Thanks for reviewing my poem. I appreciate the fave mark!!
wonderful use of colloquial imagery, makes every stanza accessible and instantaneously relatable, subtle strokes of intuitive genius: instilled, within humility's natural tendencies,
a wonderful read, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for that wonderful reply, LB! I appreciate it so much!
So nice to feel your vibration again my friend!
Wow, what a trip you just took me on! I read an article that divorce and heart ache, letting go of that love connect, is just like being born again!!
I honestly thought the second time round I was done with all life!! 9 years later I have a been what some would say "born again" with more energy than I ever had!
"There outside an empty corpseÂ
love tries to breathe life into me
Almost unwillingly, hope accepts just
enough love to survive, just barely"
Lol as I read this again I actually cried again!
Thanks for helping clear the windows to my soul...
It truly helps as much as you know and I'm sure the message will give the smile I know it can give!
Much peace and respect
Keep up that spirit!
Dan, you did put a smile on my face, I SO appreciate your kind feedback to my poem. I was going through some old poetry and this hit me like a brick wall! Thanks again, my friend!
Much peace and respect, Christina
Young love is an emotion that's a cause of commotions (heartaches)
Old love shifts through commotions to reach true emotions (love)
A truly emotional poem
Yes, it is. Thanks so much for reviewing and commenting on my poem!
