Heart aesthetics Something reached in,
pulled my heart out and left me behind
still scrambling for bearings
don't know left from right
you did a number on me,
i don't know if I can last the fight
that raging fire you pushed inside
has burned up all reason
i hunt for you, night and light
my loves death for your treason
drip by drip, drop by drop
I died a thousand times
through crimson tracks
chasing your shadows
through endless seasons
you don't want it but you wont give it back
i see those lies in your eyes
the hurt I saw inside
just a trick.
You'd think I'd have known better
crimson drips splatter
leaving me behind.

this is actually a really heartfelt poem, and reminds me of the way at times we run into situations where we pick up and move on, but there is a person who for some reason, felt much closer to us than we felt to them---maybe someone who just cannot seem to replace whatever it is they misunderstood we were unintentionally expressing to them. I have moved many times in my life and moves can be very hectic, not to mention time consuming to make new friends and build new relationships that are many times the base of your entire structure for your newly found residence. You do tend to leave people behind, unintentionally. I guess it can be sort of sad.
Glad it wasn't you,SSmoothie---then again, there are many situations where people use other people to stay intouch with other people....oh no...let's not even get into that neferious garbage!! LOL....
Beautiful poem, though SSmoothie...I thoroughly enjoyed how you wrote it!
~peace~

It's symbolic of losing a part of yourself in passion that the corners felt dipped in love, there are something's that can't be regained like time, and love. I don't know about others but I find it impossible to unlove someone. Whether they are in my past or now. You don't unlove someone ever. Once you're in it's in for life. That's how you know it's real love. In this case the person still wants the heart but can't have it, but doesn't have the heart to return it. Circumstances can leave others un intentionally behind like my first young love... Then real love came and only got better twice over two loves... Confusing! Uh heck yes. I'm still figuring it out but mostly I think I got it... Some days anyway! Lol! Thanks for your insights nightlight hugss
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
Mmmm...yes yes...that is how
Mmmm...yes yes...that is how I feel. You have to be careful who you share that with I have found though---because so many take it as that you are still 'in love' with them, when that is not at all what you mean. Yes oh yes... I totally get it. I still love my ex...but not in the same way. I look at my children and I think.."now, wait a minute, Liz, get real with yourself---he couln't have been that bad because look at these guys!". So yes---I get it. Even if I hadn't had kids with him, looking back, he was a very good guy, it's just that neither of us were ready---but go back? LOL No way lol....and I am 100% sure he would laugh too and say the same thing! (that's a definite! lol). ~peace~
