Stranger At Heart

by Meme   Oct 25, 2012


To a belated promise that
never made it on time. To
a lost song that was lost
in between the notes of
life. To you; the one who
stole me from myself and
claimed me as his.

You once sealed your hands
with mine, took a vow that
no man is to ever take away
my heart from you. I succumbed
to the yearnings of unspoken
words, and I rested my palms
upon the warmth of yours.

But your grip began to alter
against mine, and I thought
you were going to hold ever
tighter, but you sailed away.
Drifted far from the shores;
and I watched your departure
mile by mile. Only then I realized
that the silence in your sighs had
a different meaning.

I failed to see where I was
standing in your life until I
was at the edge of a; now,
broken bridge. I saw you on
the other side; with another
heart and another vow, and
that flickering warmth you
left within me was gone.

--

You know what's more
difficult than being away
from you? Is living as a
stranger in your heart!

    Wow! I love it!! I'm always amazed by your poetry... because I really connect with your poems, and what you convey.. and I love your style of writing. I felt this poem from start to end, and I could imagine the emotions you painted here... it's such a difficult thing to feel... to love someone and dream of a future with them, but then it doesn't work out and you're left with all these feelings... (Okay I'm rambling lol) But that's what I understood from the poem.

    I really enjoyed it! :)

    I don't have much to comment as this is straightforward but the sentiment is felt, it really feels when one reads it. Sometimes, we are strangers in people's hearts but there are times when real strangers feel in our heart that aren't strangers even thought we don't know them. My point, if we are strangers to the heart of someone that we shouldn't be strangers, then it was not meant. One day, there will come that stranger to your heart and his, that will feel like you and him have known for always. You'll see.

    I love this read; it's simply beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. We sometimes miss the most obvious signs that we are losing someone or no longer what they need and desire. Excellent write.

    I love this piece, it has that sort of flow to it that makes the reader get lost, and the story as well, it was really interesting to read.
    The image of two lovers and a broken relationship, time being stolen with another and you looking on as he acts as if you never were.
