Jennifer Hartzell Poems

Slipping through the cracks
of what our lives seem to lack
The love that once was there
I can no longer bear
...

I remember the night
when my world seemed alright
you promised we would grow old together
that there would be an 'us' forever
...

Say good bye to this loveless romance
I'm no longer in this trance.
I no longer crave your touch,
this pain doesn't hurt so much.
...

From the deepest depths of the river,
comes the ever-abiding life
that will not let go
that will not end.
...

The life once lived snatched away,
by the inconceivable obsession,
to drown out the pain and suffering.
As you once were,
...

With the undertones of immortality
of the fatality
which seeks to acquire
the breath which her heart desires
...

The grace of his hands
falls on my cheeks
the love flowing,
flowing like the never ending sky
...

Their blood covers the sands
by his red stained hands
The order was barked
and their fate marked.
...
