I sit in silence
Contemplate my quiet violence
I lay in sorrow
With a lonely soul that await tomorrow

MY tears are dry now
A numbness has spread throughout me
I feel nothing here
and I wont feel anything till my head is clear

My blood pools quickly
I touch me flesh, a thing now sickly
I no longer fear things
I'll run away from a heart that still sings

I remember our time
So magnificent and divine
I felt tingles through my body
It was beautiful, not naughty

You kissed me unlike any other
You wouldn't let go, now you want another
I'll now sleep forever
To escape the heartache from a love once severed

Thank you for reading my poems! I really really appreciate it. Thank you for the advice, I know it'l get better. But until it does, I need a way to let it out. :D

This is your second poem about heartbreak that I have seen. But I can relate. I just made it through the pain. Now I'm glad to see it gone. Gave her my heart and she through it on the ground and stomped on the peices with "I don't love you". It's hard. But it ends. As it always does.
