Tears To Dust

by Baby Rainbow   Dec 23, 2014


She took a deep breath
as all of the stars faded away,
leaving her world dark and empty.

The truth hurts more
than lies deceive,
and she knows you cannot change
what the heart wants,
especially when the heart isn't yours.

Her tears fall to the ground -
memories of yesterdays
turning into dust.

She doesn't know what else to do,
but she can't go on
not loving you.

    This is a lovely story of heartbreak and sadness and even some love within. The first stanza sets up well the story, as you take a deep breath maybe wishing that everything would be different than what is your reality but all the stars in the sky have faded and now your emotions are left in darkness. You want this persons heart for yourself, but you know hearts cannot change at all, love is a strong force that chooses a person. Tears are a great way to express how you are feeling and shows the reader how sad you really are, but this is great because the memories you once had are gone and have faded. You don't know what to do because the love you have is so strong that it's difficult not to live without this person. This poem is great because it shows the sad side of love and how it is difficult to move on. 5/5
