A Lover's Imprint

by Anthony M   Oct 20, 2009


Thoughts that never sleep
torment run amok,
emotions running too deep
This you have done to me.

Heart's heavy door closed
compassion left for dead,
selfishness runs unopposed.
This has now become me.

A quiet soul-less existence,
rejection of society
exposed by outward pretense.
This should never have been me.

Unfazed by your afflictions
corrupted love hides in revenge
safe from further addictions.
This is how you have left me.

    I just loved the feel of last lines in each stanza... its so powerful.. the content of the verses could be felt in the last lines... very touching... I presume you are writing about betrayal of love... getting hurt by someone close... those scars don't heal easily...

    Unfazed by your afflictions
    corrupted love hides in revenge
    safe from further addictions.
    This is how you have left me.

    just loved the ending... in these lines something pisitive is hidden ... some hope to live on... lovely lines...

    A lovers imprint can do things to you, some good, some bad and those imprints will never leave. Well done.

    I love the title of this poem and how the emotions you express fit it so well .... " A Lovers Imprint..." how a lover can do just that ... leave lasting imprints on our heart, Lol. It is a sad poem, written with deep emotion .... from the depths of a heart that is heavy and bereft. These lines are most touching...

    "Heart's heavy door closed
    compassion left for dead"

    I also liked the progression of thought in the last verse of each line until finally you say....
    "This is how you have left me..."

    A sad write that you have expressed so well.. touching the readers heart. Well done.

    Love is beautiful & love can also be ugly right
    down to the core. A strong message of hurt
    as well as anger..take care.
