The taste of heartache

~ The taste of heartache ~

The bitterness of heartache, through you it will flow,
There’s no escape from its shards of pain, this I truly know,
I wish I could describe it, the rip as your souls broken,
Your mind racing with words of love once spoken.

The pleasure doesn't compare, not close to its pain,
Love is a sacrifice, one that I will now contain,
Marks cover my body, the sting of loves tight grasp,
I only wanted happiness, for the torture I did not ask.

Loneliness now consumes me, as love has left me bleed,
This weight upon my heart, no longer do I need,
For I fear I’ll soon fall deeper, than my pain has taken me now,
A place where only darkness, fear and hate, roam somehow.

If I painted my twisted view, of the love each person craves,
I'd show the truth and reality, that love only makes more graves,
I'm no Ionger a growing person, I loath each breath I take,
I'm a broken little victim of a continuing heartache.

I feel I'm left behind, with all the prettiness of this life,
Lost in the background, fading with blood and my knife,
I cant help but hate, how people rely on the emotion so fake,
The one that causes so much pain, this dreaded heartache.

    Absolutely astonishing, the vividness, the lyrical linguistics are unparalelled by all, you really have a gift for descriptive verses, and my mind was rocked by this ones' deepest theme of heartache. I've never viewed any work quite like this, and I can honestly say it is above and beyond what I'm accustomed to having the pleasure of reading. I was truly honored to recieve your comment and given the opportunity to read your poems has shown me there are individuals in society who have a deeper sense of understanding than I ever imagined. If i had to descibe my opinion of you through the works I've read so far, I'd choose "intellectually advanced" and I mean that with honest sincerity. This poem is universal in its ability to appeal to almost if not all people who hve ever loved and lost, of which experience I am fully familiar with. Congratulations on this one, you should be immensely proud of its' precise complexion, the overall feel and raw emotion that gathers while each line fulfills its' course, delivering a portrait to the reader impossible to explain with as limited language as the english language. Honestly, incredible job and keep up the posts and comments, I'm looking forward to both. in laymens terms, this thing was friggin awesome, no critique possible.
