I loved you with the strength
of the indescribable
clawing into my heart to find the words.
I fell into the abyss of your
cold, cold love
that frosty air of rejection
hidden in your eyes
escaped through your mouth
And now I see you claw the black
atmosphere in sheer desperation
And I smile red,
for it's too late for that apology


The author's comments:
I simply write in an attempt to communicate with others and to relieve the burdens life throws at us all. Most of my work is a healing process that I hope others can connect with. I have a strong dislike for titling my work, because the title belongs to the person reading the poem. It's not something I, as the author, feel I have a right to invent. Therefore, I number my poems.
