A doomed love

Like I always warn beforehand when I publish poems; this is just figments of idle imagination, so make no further assumption!



Silence.

Unsaid words and unscreamed blames.

Silence loud as anything.

You wouldn't even look my way,

Yet I could feel my world falling apart.

 

[My world fell apart, like this]:

 

Everyone went on living,

Breathing,

Laughing.

            I was the lone change.

Nothing would make sense to me.

Sort of like the sense had left everything.

And everything became one whole cold meaningless entity.

 

I lost my fire,

I lost my soul,

Your absence

Sure has taken its toll.

 

Soulless, I wandered in the black rain.

Freezing, I stumbled in the black snow.

Don't remind me to cry

Don't remind me of my broken heart

It's hard enough, bad enough, sad enough

Without wasting tears on a doomed love.

 

I couldn't even cry;

 

 

With you gone,

Life's just about breathing in, breathing out.

Very good indeed...you have imagined right about the feeling of being ditched quite well!

as always, beautiful. I don't know if it was intended but I liked the comparison...

Everyone went on living,
Breathing,
Laughing.

vs

With you gone,
Life's just about breathing in, breathing out.


Laughing is what essentially makes it worth enduring the pains of life.

Liked the casual tone of the poem.
CheerS!
