A Lost Heart
A Lost Heart
I bestowed upon you my heart.
Where is it now?
I no longer see it in your eyes when they meet with mine, then quickly glance away. I missed the taste of it on your lips when I kiss you. Nor does it touch your ears for you failed to hear the despair fraught plea in my voice. Your arms lack the intimate warmth when they envelop me, the sensation I so loved. I lay my head on your chest and listen. It no longer beats as one with mine.
Your eyes hold the vision of a yet to be attained lover. Your lips long to whisper sweet things into the soft down on the nap of her neck. Your arms yearn to embrace her warmth, not mine.
I feel embarrassed. I don’t belong here. How do I leave? How do I escape this awkward moment?
You turn away. I start to reach out to stop you. My diminishing pride stills my hand.
You walk away.
I press my palm to my aching chest. There it is. He has returned it. My old friend beats strong beneath my breast. To this alone I must be true to forever.
This is the poetic verson of the end of my second marriage.

dam....
I'm almost speechless at how captivating this piece is. Such depth and emotion. I sympathize very much with these feelings and you put then into words very delicately, though the pain never goes away. Amazing. Thanx for sharing
Thank you so much for your comment. If you get time i have a few poems that are quite diverse. Circles, Words, No More. The Cheaters Fall, Up, Night, Shadows, Zombies if there are some of your old ones you would want me to read tell me them. I would love to know what you think of them. Poets always doubt themselves as you know. Thanks again
I remember this. You were devastated. It turned out for the best. I loved your poem

I like your form, it's different from others, and in the way you write your poetry, it suits it well.
Im trying for variety. Im not near your quality and fluency but im trying
That was nothing less of the high level of poetry I expect when I read your poems. Another classic from the great Susan Lee.
