Without A Beating Heart

Emi

Were you just a dream?

Or are you a memory?

You certainly aren’t reality now

But forgetting isn’t easy

 

Black and white photographs

Faded and folded

Of our smiles and laughter

A love beginning to mold

 

Clearer pictures in color

Vibrant and new

Of tears running down my face

The door slamming behind you

 

You left me no time at all

To say my goodbyes

My voice was inaudible

Over my hopeless cries

 

Now I still have my soul inside

And from thoughts I have not parted

But how will I ever survive

Without a beating heart?

  • Comment from author about the poem: I've been away on vacation all week and I haven't had the chance to write much, so this is just something that I kind of threw together to try to get back into it. :)

    Very good for "just throwing something together"! This depicts the heartache very well with the metaphor of colourless photos for the memories and vibrant colour for the recent violent wrenching grief, with the symbolism of a heart not beating depicting the death of everything, especially the speaker. Great job.

      You left me no time at all, To say my goodbyes ....... many times the most unexpected happens when we think it is far from happening. And though it seems impossible to survive, in HIS most perfect time, you will be able to move on. ...........SMILE! THE DAY IS GOD'S NEW GIFT!

        I don`t know how you do it (or if you intentionally made it this way) but it feels to me as though every piece you write contains some of your precious soul :,)
