Whatup my fellow poets? I know it's been a while. I was on some Romeo & Juliet type shit when I wrote this, so if it doesn't make too much sense to you, forgive me. It was the state of mind I was in at the time.
I'm a lil rusty, I haven't been writing as much as I used to but I'm hoping y'all can appreciate this either way.

Tragic Love Tale

I can feel you there…
Watching from the shadows of my heart
I can see you there…
With every beat it tears apart.
The distance in my soul…
Buried deep with secret words untold
I sense your fear and know…
Your love is lurking near.

I can’t go on…
Without you here to tell me
“Girl, I know you’re strong.
Don’t waste a second or a tear
Just please hold on…”
He whispers right beside my ear
“I never left your side”

The goose-bumps on my flesh…
Convince me you’re around
I feel it in my chest…
Without your tears making a sound
But my open wounds are sore…
As love’s knife plunges in deep
I fall to the floor…
Now my soul can finally get some sleep.

No, I can’t go on…
Without you here to tell me
“Girl, I know you’re strong
Don’t waste a second or a tear…”
But I can’t hold on, I whisper for his ears to hear
“Now I can be right by your side”

Great comeback girl :D

This was written real elegantly and was different from the other poems of yours that I've read. I loved what you wrote about and it wasn't confusing, you managed to keep it simple yet the vocab you used and the way you put those sentences together is really beautiful.

My fave verses were the 2nd and last, i really liked the way you switched parts... great piece, keep it up (i know you will) :)

Great section here. I'm still not sure if by 'loves knife plunges in deep' you mean something else ;)

Nah, but this was well written as always, i like this style from you too, i haven't read much of your writing lately, or anyones really, but i like this from you.

xxsaraxx: Thanks girl, I appreciate your words as always. I figured it was time to post up a lil something since I hadn't done it in a long ass time. I'm glad you could appreciate this for what it was.

k69atie: Thank you, appreciate you taking the time out to peep

~DonmegA~: Hmm, do I take that as a good sign? :D Thanks for peeping....twice

Hennessy: HAH! I hope you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, lol. Damn, you remind me of someone else with a mind like that (He knows who he is :p)
That line, wasn't intended like you may think. By love's knife I just mean, that love is killing her in it's own way, I just wanted to throw a twist on it. As always, your replies mean a lot, so thanks for taking out the time to do so.

Very nice poem. I liked the whole concept of it, the way you feel when the person you love is no longer there to love you and support you, it's hard and I think that you portrayed that very good in your poem.

The flow was perfect and it was a pleasure to read.

The imagery you portrayed with "love's knife" was great, really liked that part.

Again, very nice drop :thumb:

kman_69: Thanks for peepin', as always....you know I appreciate it. This poem, hmm....I was watching Romeo & Juliet, the original and I just got to thinking of how it would be like to lose 'my love' (the person who means the world to me) in that way so...I decided to get to writing since I hadn't in a lil while, and this is what I came up with. I know it's unlike a lot of my other poems but that's what I like about it the most. Again, appreciate you taking the time out to peep.

Blunted Dreamz: Dang, you know I haven't seen you around for a long ass time (Maybe the fact I haven't been on here all that much has something to do with it :D) You know I'm such a big fan of your writing's, so this reply really does mean a lot to me. Thank you.

Belo: :D Thanks pizza boy! I'm glad you were feeling it.

Cown: Thank you very much. I appreciate you taking the time out to read this let alone respond.

I know you weren't talkin' about me there... :D

Anyway, loved this piece ma', really puts you in that romeo and juliette state of mind, this is exactly what you called it, a tragic love tale.

The goose-bumps on my flesh…
Convince me you’re around
I feel it in my chest…
Without your tears making a sound


This part was written really well, almost gives you goose-bumps reading it.

I can’t go on…
Without you here to tell me
“Girl, I know you’re strong.
Don’t waste a second or a tear
Just please hold on…”
He whispers right beside my ear
“I never left your side”


That had to be my favorite part, I loved the way you brought those lines back in, great way to end the poem, you haven't missed a beat.
