Frozen by Rhonda Maneki
Mercilessly you release my heart,
~I fall~
a feather drifting,
~ slowly~
Within the darkness of the abyss.
In that solitary moment my emotions fully,
lovingly and so tenderly had embraced you.
I had trusted you.
You choked my life, my thoughts, my words,
Your own words a tormented sword of destruction
to my tenderness and love.
You strangled them with
your indifference.
I coulden't breathe !!!
You took away the sun my days
were no longer bright,
There was nothing but
memories and loneliness.
.. Even with you here ..
I was so very alone.
Your careless words
and fractured perceptions
have driven me through
endless seasons,
of timelessness.
It is now winter within my heart.
My tears have turned to ice
they fall like bits of shattered glass,
into sand where they melt into
fragile memories,
left to haunt my solitude.
.. Alone..

Author's Note: Of past, of pain, of pain healed though writing.
Amen, for poetry.
