Poets are those who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.

Broken Love

by Anonymous

My aching heart lifelessly beats
For only that still moment of love
Grasping hands tremble
As emptiness replaces our hold
Strong legs collapsing
Kneeling to the memories of when he held me up
Blurry eyes pouring warm emotion
Of pure wish for his presence
Rapid intake of breaths
Resist the need for a slow realization
Of a once loving body
Giving into the horrors of certainty
Implacable walls of address
Caving onto the actuality of attraction
From beyond the hopes of possibility
Behind the forces of anticipation
Comes the withered trust of adoration
