My heart needs to replace you.
There a void left still.
I stopped maintaining it.
I no longer look for signs.
I no longer hope for smiles.
Time heals no wounds.
Wounds devour time.
The place you held.
The heart beats you inspired
Have long pasted by.
Lifts to my spirit
Sunk into oblivion….
I would like to pause.
I would like to mourn.
But that’s been done already.
The person I wanted
Showed up today.
Her face wasn’t yours
Anymore
For some reason this made me think of someone who suffers from losing their mind. Their physical form still there but their mind is that of a completely different person. Thank you for linking up with #momsterslink.

It’s a place left behind. When relationships end its kept. Maybe more like open wound. Yes it’s crazy but the human condition usual is my dear. 😀

Thank you my darling. I had the first line in my head. The rest just a thought of those feelings left when the fire has turned to ash. I’m in a writing phrase I guess. 😀

Oh, what an impact this should cause to those being tempted. Hope it would stop some broken hearts. This is often the price of betrayal. Such a great poem.

Interesting. I never had the betrayal part in mind. The line came into my mind and swam around to the empty part not the cause of it. Thanks so much for the comment and kind words. 😀
