Wounds
I cannot dry your tears
my hand cannot stretch
beyond an ocean
to wipe them from your face
or catch them
streaming down
your warm river of pain
that I
feel so
deeply, deeply, deeply
flowing from your heart
Your cuts surround me,
words I never heard
like cold knives
closing in for the kill
hungering the corpse of you
insistence undeniable
etched on my soul
deeply, deeply, deeply
tearing my thoughts
Sadness is all we share
yet it binds us
in tightest knots of forever
until we choke
drowning
in the blind darkness of your pain
two helpless islands
of abandoned hope
my hand cannot stretch
beyond an ocean
to wipe them from your face
or catch them
streaming down
your warm river of pain
that I
feel so
deeply, deeply, deeply
flowing from your heart
Your cuts surround me,
words I never heard
like cold knives
closing in for the kill
hungering the corpse of you
insistence undeniable
etched on my soul
deeply, deeply, deeply
tearing my thoughts
Sadness is all we share
yet it binds us
in tightest knots of forever
until we choke
drowning
in the blind darkness of your pain
two helpless islands
of abandoned hope

what to say to do this piece justice. I would say it broke my heart, but how can you break what is already broken.. I choked on my tears for this one. Beautiful. <3

A gorgeously realised string of thoughts and images. Makes me want to burn all of my own cheap love poems:-)

To Kandice, Jack (please don't burn them)Celine 3amp & Priya - thank you all for your lovely comments. S'funny how some of the good stuff writes itself real quick - and Wounds was one of those.
