The End Of Life Poem by Lorraine Licona

Today my life ended
When you took my heart
And crushed it like a dead flower
With your words
The words I dreaded and hoped I would never hear
That I had lost you to another
The inevitable thing
That distance will cause
And the darkness came over me
Like a blanket of death
Cold and numb
I felt only pain like a piercing knife into my wounded heart
My soul dashed and shattered
Like a precious crystal
Smashed into a thousand pieces
That could not be repaired
Your words like ice
Pierced me and froze my feelings in time
Yet I understand your sadness
And I have no hate or animosity
Time is a cruel joker
And distance is the game it plays
With hearts
fragile and vulnerable
If my life would have been different
Then maybe our lives would be as one today
But the cruel joker laughs
And the game goes on without end
Memories are the pain that remains when all else fails
My life has run from me
Like a river of blood
From the gaping wound in my heart
No future exists
Only the eternal laugh of fate
And might-have-beens
Yes, my heart still beats
But it is cold and silent and empty
Today my life ended with my broken heart
