A Poem About Heartbreak

The longest drive you make is the one you take alone

The sunset fills the sky with blood

Such a nice night to die

When a day feels like forever

And three years are gone in the blink of an eye

I know that no amount of time will take the hurt away

Crying in this empty house

Once a home

Waiting

For what may never be

Trying to make it all

Right

When one year

Five years

Ten years from now

I know I will wake and call out to him

A love this strong can't be broken

It can't be worn down by time

And I dread the day I have to see

Another on his arm

In his heart

Put on my brave face

And smile pretty for the cameras

While I cry inside

If this really is

Goodbye

heartbreak

About the Creator

Maia Gadwall the metAlchemist

I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. Then, I went crazy and started a cult called metAlchemy, or meta alchemy. I revere energy of all brands, esp. good, kind chaos.
