When Sorrow Eats Your Heart Poem by Doris Cornago

When Sorrow Eats Your Heart



Sorrow hits your head hammer-like
The indecision took away a spare
Colliding with destiny, irrational
Conflagration that eats your
Heart over 100 degrees
Leaving you empty
Only a shell
Called
Self
But anger
Is momentary
Today and tomorrow
He desperately longs to
Meet be with you once again
Can you turn him away in anger
Yesterday is soon forgotten as you
Welcome him with open arms, flickers
A light, the dead lives and life resumes

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but for me, my heart grows weary by the day I don't get a word from someone who said he will try to get me something in lieu of his presence. Everyday becomes a struggle with longing and anger that he should be so careless about how I'm feeling about his absence. Yet, there is benefit in writing poems about his dereliction.
