An Illusion ... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

An Illusion ...



The yearning
It kills me
Missing you
Pain indescribable
Heart twisted
Wrung out like a sponge
No tears flow anymore
Only emptiness remains
A black hole in my soul
I miss your voice
Your smile
Your eyes
And the silence
Infinite and final
drives me wild
To the point
of madness
An insanity born from sorrow
Why did you do it?
Why did you leave me alone?
Why abandon me
Why did you ask me to go?
You must have known
I would walk away
My pride my burden
Your happiness my everything
Mine an illusion

Yeah, there's the description again of how total abandonment and pain feels when it comes to losing in love.. It is the most devastating feeling in the world, the most tragic... I am sure that for those of us who are not strong this kind of emotion can truly drive us over the brink... Luckily for me I am one of the strong ones... :)
