Leaving

In a crystal palace
or through the cutting wind
that bleeds my lips
I drop a tear.
Everywhere
I’m lonely,
for you are far,
so very cold,
and in the dark.


I miss you,
your warm hands,
and sweet smile,
the silly games
just running around.
Why did you leave?
I see now,
you are underground
but I’m in the dark.

This is an extraordinary poem; well constructed, with key lines which draw the emotions out, i.e.”that bleeds my lips” wonderful, and the last 3-lines… so emotional. Thank you, I really enjoyed this poem!

Such a beautifully expressed sentiment.
It's always the little things, tit-bits that are more memorable.

Powerful and well written! The depth is revealed in layers. The dark attributes highlight the mysterious intentions. That of the blind thief of hearts. Excellent, much enjoyed.
