I decided to read my favourite story one last time
It was accompanied with nausea rippled in an empty stomach
The only light I could see was darkness and shadowy forms of anguish
My fingers were numb as my throat was dry from pain
My palms were sweaty and sticky as I stared on the story that was once filled with sunshine
My heart was a raging inferno with no relief to be found
The pages were blurred from rivulets of tears streaming from my blazed eyes
I could hear the laugh from a distance, a midnight vision of our past
My mouth was sore, the memories were so much to be forgotten in a haste.
I wanted to move on to the next page but my book was saturated with pain.
I took what was left of my once finest book and disposed it into the flames
And I decided to rewrite my favourite story.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is essentially about heartbreak. I wrote it when I parted ways the person I really loved then. I didn't know how else to express how I felt. I have feelings too😩 though I act so tough. Thank God I'm as good as new now. How many of you can relate😉?

WELCOME ANIE ~ Thanks for your first Poem ~ Beautifully penned but full of PATHOS ~ Regret & Resolve ! I love the last line ~ in such circumstances the only real solution is (with regret) to burn your OLD BOOK and rewrite a NEW ONE. I have fallen in & out of love several times (I am now in a loving relationship with Angela) in the last few years ~ The Male Mantra is "Better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all" BUT experience tells me it is harder for a Lady ! Men fall in love from the HEAD ~ but Ladies from the HEART ! Every Blessing ~ thinking of you ~ please check my POEMS ~ Yours BRIAN
Thank you very much Brian
