The Haunted Heart
Impaled,
thoughts of you
never cease
the air
is drowning me
its strangling
etch a sketch love
drawn beautifully together
just to have it all shook up
worry beads
fall to the ground
one by one
my soul screams
in agony,
you are gone
my mind wraps
itself around that fact
twisting it into insanity
wanting
what can never be
needing that fantasy
the murdered heart
still thinks its alive
beating me up on the inside
I have tried it all
nothing will extinguish
the flame of you're memory
branded,
your ghost is all that remains
and I, forever shrouded in reveries pain

Something of a darker stroll for you, and different from most of what I have read from you before...
Which is a good thing, and you have done quite well with this departure Nikkiemoe. It's dark depiction is very well told here.

Feels smoky like a Fiona Apple delivery
Filtered through years of hash and whiskey
LIke a wound that stays fresh and a tune...
That dips knees to reach me in a place...
I can usually only reach when tipsy.
For a quick trip to that place I appreciate this verse of grace. Thank you Nikki!

Lovely. Definitely haunting! You captured that sense of wanting what you can't have after your heart has been broken very well.
*one typo in the last line of the 2nd last stanza: "you're memory" -- should be "your memory"
I enjoyed your poem :) Easy to relate to for many I'm sure.
