The Heart Remembers
Sensory Overload
I’ve felt the ache of longing for a place, no longer in existence
The echo of that silence haunts like voices down the hall
The intensity of sorrow, as palpable as burning bridges - an overwhelming sense of scent and smell
My bitter tears taste of regret, for a moment lost to me in time
As I’m attempting to preserve the memory of when my eyes held you the last time

Political Thirty-Three
Inevitable? A woman named Good is lost. Unforgivable. * Note: I don't think that I have to explain this one to anyone noting recent news, but I have included a video link below for future generations who can still feel empathy and compassion for someone who got caught up in history. And I was just too angry to say more with this piece.

Send hugs for this emotional set of lines
You’ve written a very relatable poem. I think that we’ve all had this feeling, this longing for something or someone that will never come back again. I love the line “The intensity of sorrow, as palpable as burning bridges - an overwhelming sense of scent and smell”; it really brings that sorrow to life. Well done.
This is quite an emotional poem. Good work.
I know how that feels. Beautifully said.
I feel the same way now, reminiscing about my school friends and the moments we spent together in school. Those memories still evoke a special feeling in me. That's a great poem! It's special
