Dark Night Poem by jane solanrobertson

Each dark night
I lie cold and alone
Watching raindrops fall:
Never-ending tears of lovers
Whose hearts break.
An arrogant wind
Flings leaves around
Like the tossed-aside feelings
Of those who don't matter.
I shudder
Try to blot out the lies
And the way you scraped
Every last hope from within me.
But still the nightmares come
To fill my head
And this empty place
That used to be my heart.
How I hate you
Yet I hate still more
How beautiful memories flood back
As sure as the morning sunshine
To kiss a tear-stained face.
