Colorless Voids of a Misplaced Heart [Collab with Jess]

by SiLeNtLy ScReAmInG   Jul 18, 2008


The shadows crawl across colorless walls,
In varying shades of ever-darkening black,
The silence of your absence is pressing in,
I'm wondering if you're ever coming back.

The rooms feel hollow, as empty they grow,
A void that I just can't seem to fill,
It's just my chest without you here with me,
My heart is missing, though beating still.

The same four walls, weak as they stand,
Slowly slipping hues from blue to grey,
Color running away as life drains out,
Fading with each minute that you're away.

The heart's calling for crimson concern,
Desperation twists mind's sense of reason;
As darkness falls upon crystallized vision,
Dullness blurs every non-existent season.

I feel the cords, ones that tie me to you,
Although stretched and slender are they,
Strong and durable, they're forever lasting,
For as long as you want them to stay.

The echoes of unanswered cries circle above,
A heartbeat's intensity is slowly drowned,
Crimson tears cascade, sunlight disappears,
Disappointment plays its deafening sounds.

AKA Colorless Cries of a Misplaced Heart.

    WOW! This is such an amazing piece. Truly capitivating from the start and does not fail to continue withing this part.

    The opening stanza was just so perfect and the imagery therein undoubtedly suited well with what you wanted to convey. An excellent write that no matter how many words of praise are said it will fall short of what one deserves. 100/5 from me.

    *hates you for writing so beautifully*

    The rooms feel hollow, as empty they grow,
    A void that I just can't seem to fill,
    It's just my chest without you here with me,
    My heart is missing, though beating still.

    ^^ I love how this can be applied to many things. Missing love..missing faith, friendship..anything. The rhyme scheme and flow are absolutely breath-taking ((through out the whole poem, really)) and I loved the word choice.

    The same four walls, weak as they stand,
    Slowly slipping hues from blue to grey,
    Color running away as life drains out,
    Fading with each minute that you're away.

    ^^ This stanza is so visual for me. I dore the second line...the word slipping is well used. As is fading in the last line. ((obviously, i love the word usage)). but like i said, i could visualize this in a literal as well as figurative way.

    absolutely gorgeous poem, both of you. *is jealous* keep it up. <3
