Powerless

POWERLESS...

You fade away
Into the distant horizon
A mere shadow now.
As I watch you
Walk away
The splintering of our
Broken hearts
Resonate in the
Desolate, empty landscape.

Words hold no meaning
Anymore…
As they die on my parched lips.
I want to reach out
And yet hesitate…
Our intertwined fingers
Now a foregone dream.
The cold winds scatter
The ashes of our love.

I watch your
Receding back…
Each resolute step away
Shattering my heart…
There’s no looking back
As you stride towards a new dawn,
A new beginning
With a sigh of relief
On your sensuous lips…perhaps.

Love is crushed
As rage, agony, jealousy, hopelessness
Dance in triumph.
Pulling the strings
Of my puppet heart
They possess me
Demented I stab my heart
Again and again…
While you watch powerless…
Us lost forever.

    I read something from Paulo Coelho that stuck in my mind:

    "As I said in my new book, ALEPH: of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worse has been through love. We are always suffering because of someone who doesn't love us, or someone who has left us, or someone who won't leave us."

    And we do feel powerless over the misfortunes and heartaches brought to us.

    However, sine this post was written in February, I know the melancholic theme of your poem was from before because I saw a tinge of sunshine in your more recent posts :)

    I know you are experiencing something better right now :) Love you soul sis :*

    Love is a great feeling, but only when you are in love and the person with whom you are in love is in love with you, otherwise, love can show the downside of giving a heartache and sadness that only those who have been in love and lost it know.Lost love is enduring, actually it lasts longer than the feeling of love itself, it is like someone you connected with and the person broke the connection, but from your side it is still on, and that there is no answer is what is painful.Lost love and its memories can last as long as we live, however, we do not lose the ability to love.
    Beautifully written Rimly....its really touched me deep.

    Hello.
    Rimly, this is profound & oh so vivid, but way too sad. I hope it's not like this for you now.
    Beautifully expressed.

    sentiments bleed with a hard
    punch of practical reality.
    truth shatters the dreams
    holding 'US' together, our world
    only 'I' created, 'U' no where.
    'I' still remain just a scrutiny
    in your limitations and priority.

    navigating your thoughts made me cry. i love you. release your pain. groom up your sentiments for the ones who deserve such a beautiful soul. you are a shinning star bright and gorgeous.

    Melissa my soul sis, I just finished reading Aleph and loved it. You are right this is one of my older darker poems. I am in a different plane now though sometimes the pain still tends to take control, I am fighting it. Thank you dear.

    Alpana you truly know and understand love. Yes lost love and its memories can be most painful but like you said we can close our heart to love. Thank you sweetheart for your wise comment

    i simply loved the last verse...
    'Love is crushed
    As rage, agony, jealousy, hopelessness
    Dance in triumph.
    Pulling the strings
    Of my puppet heart
    They possess me
    Demented I stab my heart
    Again and again…
    While you watch powerless…
    Us lost forever.'
    ...the feeling of despair n helplssnss it had was simply like deep impact...beautiful write...:)
