Just so you know what's going on, this is reeeally bad. I thought it would be fun to try poetry…who knew I could be so terribly, terribly bad. Luckily, it's short…

You Were…

The topaz sun burns through my heart, giving me memories I can not bare.

It beats upon me in relentless light; to remember? I do not dare.

I look for an escape, anything would do.

But there's nothing to escape to. The world's nothing without you.

You were my laugh, you were my tears

You were my solitude, you were my fears.

You were my everything, even my heart.

To look for you? I laugh; I have no idea where to start.

The laugh is cold, it doesn't touch

The pain of its forced sound is too much.

Your name, unforgotten, lies hidden from my dreams,

For if I were to dream of you, I'd awaken from my screams.

Screams of agony, no less. I can't be without you.

They say my heart is still there, but I don't think it's true.

So did you mean it? I don't know, and I really don't know how,

How before you did this you'd once said:

"You are my life now…"

PS…this totally sucks, I already know, but if you'd like to say something mean, go right ahead. LOL. Sorry it was a let down, not even sure why I posted it. Just figured I'd give poetry a try…I know, never again, right? LOL. Obviously, poetry advice would be EXTREMELY helpful in my case…so welcome poetry lovers/teachers! Please review (good or bad) Loves!
