Denial's Howl

by Baby Rainbow   Nov 4, 2015


You crossed the line
beyond the limits my heart can take,
so now it lies crushed on the ground,
pretending that nothing is broken.

I was hanging onto you,
believing every word,
but all this time I couldn't see
that I got it all wrong from that start,
your heart isn't breaking like mine
because you never truly wanted me.

I don't want to believe that I've lost you,
but we're much too far away,
it's just not the same.

I miss you every day
and all I have let,
are memories
that make me howl
through my soaked pillow!

    Let me be technical for a moment sweet Saffie-

    I adore the use of the word howl....

    I think that word is the key word to the entire poem. I'm glad you used it within the title, because pain of a broken heart is so powerful... howling has such depth to it... when a person cries into a pillow that want to muffle the depth of volume.... so it sounds like a faraway howl of a wolf....

    I may have went way to far into this.. but I do like key words that make you think.

    Emotionally speaking, this poem can bring the reader to tears... just beautiful!
