Two years past since our last day together Tears streaming from my eyes’ salty rims Heavy they sank into seas’ forever Dwelling at bottom where my heart still swims
Trapped in the gurgle of my drowning breast My pleas for mercy screamed like greedy gulls Chased away from mere scraps off barren nest For even love like nature has it culls
In a world that hides its love as treasure Lost for ages in jungles overgrown Love only given to me in good measure Gaining not in value what was never known
Farewell to love hid in the floating chaff Never wash up ashore on my behalf

About this poem:
Recalling a very melancholy and somber mood after a painful breakup.
Ladyjewell, The hardest part is over....but with love sometimes you can just never surrender or lose that feeling you once shared...no matter how hard you try and bury the feelings...
It's true....all of it!! Once bitten twice shy...oh me oh my....haha

Yankee4you......what can one say....Pain of a break up can only fade, though never go away completely...I hope it is now easier to confront...but it makes beautiful poetry.....Kathy

No matter how many times it happens
It always hits hard doesn't it?
This superb sonnet is indeed melancholia writ large - the despair leaps out at the reader...
Best wishes
