Heart Abandonment

by Meme   May 13, 2013


See, I used to own a
heart but even that
went breaking in utter
silence like those walls,
thats when I wished for
pain, for a distraction
from myself and this place.

Because home is not a place;
it's a feeling..

So I didn't care when you
built me a castle of hearts,
whats the point when I was
left living there all alone?

Surrounded by walls
that echoed the silence
of your departure,
soundless just like an
empty heart. And I
thought I had company,
but even my shadow
had left me alone in the
utter of darkness.

It was cold in there, so
cold and pathetic that
I was seeking pillows
for company and hugging
blankets for warmth..

..but the shivers never
went away, how could
they when my body has
succumbed to what lied
beneath my skin.

What lied? Nothing!

Just a housed chill that
had been feeding on my
very own status of being
holding me a captive in
my own -heartless- castle.

    This poem is wonderful and sad. I can also relate to this as everyday I feel lonely. I love the idea you have of a heart breaking and the silence it sheds. The whole poem as an eerie feel. Like the house or castle is haunted by depression. And it is holding you capitive in your own soul or house. Excellent write meme!! 5

    ^^ STUNNING...I will be facebooking that later...and tagging you lol

    This poem is something I can relate to..feeling lonely, empty, left by someone we cared about...But after years of heartbreak, I've come to the conclusion that lonliness is a choice. dang.....I think I might have inspired myself with a poem..I'll elaborate more on that when I write this poem lol....

    Anyways, I love your punctuation here. Always been fond of it, you use it well. i also use exclamation points and really admire authors who do that....because it gives the reader a true sense of your time..anger, bitter, excited, etc....In this case it seemed frustrated, almost sarcastic.

    Sad piece, but well written...definitely serious about facebooking that line..I loved it!
