Drear Love

gray0328

 

you entered like a thunderstorm  

wild winds clawing at my edges  

the crash of you shook my ribs  

 

your laughter became my anthem  

soft and sharp in the same breath  

you left fingerprints on my pulse  

 

electrifying like a spark at dawn  

you burned until i fractured wide  

and swallowed all the light whole  

 

i called it love, this breaking  

dancing on the thin line of ruin  

but your absence feels like acid  

 

drear love, heavy as forgotten rain  

you still echo beneath my skin  

a ghost i am too proud to bury

    I love this poem that seems a love letter to one gone. The last line caught my attention the most (a ghost I am too proud to bury) a powerful line

      Magnificent imagery

      I'll go for the contradictions embodied in the penultimate stanza.
