Abandoned Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Oh, the thought of you
Does hurt me so
Like a pinch of the heart
And when I remember you
It is sudden and strong
More striking than
The earth's brightest
Lightening, it torches
More than my nerve endings
And the sight of you
Does bring back more
Than I would ever care
To ponder, because it burns
To know I am without you
In this passionless world
I know there is no forgiveness
There is no redemption
For I have eaten more
Than my share of your heart
I will never feel you again
Only the good shall love
And be loved, the wicked
Are meant to be touched
But never caressed
