Ashes Poem by Erika Wingo
Ashes
My heart is filled with the ashes
Of our love burned away
I've emptied out my soul
Until there's nothing left to say
Glued the pieces back together
Every time I fell apart
You lit a fire inside of me
Then left only ashes in my heart
I have searched your face
For even the slightest trace
Of the love I used to see
Reflecting back at me
But what is gone cannot be found
And every time I turn around
You smear rejection all over me
I'm the most broken that I'll ever be
Your eyes so cold, your words unkind
You've taken so much
There's nothing left of me that's mine
You left only ashes in my heart
While your love still burns eternal
Through my life and in my mind
So much pain, any person who can reject a person as thoughtful and considerate of you has no time to be associated with a talented person such as yourself. Good write
A poignant write up with emotions there in. The pains and sorrows are very well captured here. I wish Erika you come out of this pain and person immediate and find your peace as fast.
Again, I connect to the common threads of your poetry, inviting you to visit my poem, Ashes Of Old Lovers...I recognize shades of myself, within your words. PEACE
Thank you all for reading and leaving such beautiful comments.
Wow, you evoke a real image of emotion. A stroke of honesty and I could feel your pain here. Great poem Erika!
