Mind froze in confusion
Each breath toxic to my soul
Tears flowing from glass eyes
As life drains from the very core
...... Of my heart ......

Let me sleep, the peaceful sleep
Take the very breath I breathe
If love was meant to hurt this way
I shall never love nor hold another
...... In My Heart ......

Please God send me back to the womb
Where I can find a new beginning
Erase the words that cut and bruise
Strip me of the pain of betrayal, that aches
...... Within my heart .....

Let me sleep, the peaceful sleep
Take the very breath I breathe
If love was meant to hurt this way
I shall never love nor hold another
...... In My Heart ......

Frozen in this tomb of unhappiness
Unable to break the shackles that bind
My mind twists and turns, never fully resting
Images dance with a smirk, again and again
...... Tearing at my heart .....

Please let me sleep, the peaceful sleep
Please take the very breath I breathe
If love was meant to hurt this way
I shall never love nor hold another
...... In My Heart ......

    What a painfully sad piece. It fits perfect with the picture. The word choices and imagery are awesome. I love the repetition you used.

    OH this stanza did take my breath.....Love is one of the most painful yet beautiful emotions that we feel. When we lose that love and feel like we can no longer go on. Luanne you have captured these feelings perfectly.
    ~Bravo~
    Love Cindy
