Invisible Shatter

[PoetessAurora]

My lover Sarah wrote this poem. I wanted to post it because I think it's beautiful.

i hear it.

the crash and the scream.

like lightning it runs thru my veins,

i search for her.

she is standing there.

broken window in front of her,

broken glass upon her.

her arm, wrist, hand are sulking

in this bloody bath.

she looks up at me

and i see the angry, weak tears covering her pale waters.

her white knuckles drip with their blood tears.

and she says to me, "it hurts."

i look at her fingers and i say, "i know."

and she tells me, "no, no . . . it hurts in my heart."

beautiful yes... but sad more than anything.

Love the title. sad of course, but also sorta lovely.

and she says to me, "it hurts."

i look at her fingers and i say, "i know."

and she tells me, "no, no . . . it hurts in my heart."

Gorgeous, Beautiful, Touching, Horrid! I can REALLY relate to this...
very few poems really hit home and the last 4 lines or so achieved this for me. Quite an accomplishment :D

that part you quoted... so sad, but beautiful at the same time.

i think the word is -- "bittersweet"

 

[cherub]

When i read this i keep spinning over what this means,,that if i can't relate or relate at all and do i have the words to expess this,,,, but here it goes.

I see this more of a moment of bondship between two people the calm nature of the other person watching and realization of what really were the reason behind it and then gives a sense of calm hope to realize where all this engery came from.

hope the light comes on

My heart is still tight from reading this poem
