Double Edge Wedge

by Sherry Lynn   Jul 7, 2007


Cold broken hearted
lifeless on the floor
lost since you departed

shattered at the core
wandering aimlessly through life
feelings once wanted I now abhor

never shall I be your wife
In your arms never to lie
left bleeding as though cut with a knife

refusing to wither and die
smiles always genuine; never fake
not one tear shed; unable to cry

except through the hours left awake
no matter the time; at your name I break.

--Sherry Lynn Hull Richardson

    Excellent imagry and well formed I loved this poem although I fear it has left me sad for the rest of the day, which is really a good thing. I always maintain that the really good poetry is the poetry that awakens emotions in us and yours certainly did that well done and thank you for the great read.

    Your poet heart speaks well. I really liked your poem and the way it flowed with words chosen for just the right moment as your poem began to speak of that heart. Keep up the good works….I’ll be reading more…

    I really relate to the last line....I liked it a lot...one suggestion though...a little more unique imagery, metaphor etc. would make this poem not look cliche....just my two cents :) and I admire how you've fitted it into a form...I can NEVER do that..lol
