Poems on Heartbreak - Blackout Poetry Notes

Fleeting Glimpse

She shut her eyes,
drowning in desire. This was
beyond compare and she found only
a fleeting glimpse
of alarm.

I am reckless
in my life.
The rush of each thrill
burns brightly,
searing me in a desire
for distraction
as a desperate attempt
to feel something.

This feeling of
hopelessness
is real pain.

You were in love
with love,
but not me.

The great emptiness
the loss of a memory.
Could anyone
ease the pain?

Look carefully
at sad eyes, at something
hidden beneath
a flicker of something,
an expression of wonder.

Listen carefully,
the fall and rise struggling
to be heard.
This song was familiar,
full of loneliness
an old ballad imprisoned
in his ghost.

With this smile
of bitterness, I rather
give myself away.

This is monstrous,
he doesn't show his pain.
He is still alive, somehow.
Surely, he is not
quite right.

I was lost in a storm.
My heart wished
I had wings and could ascend
instead of sinking
down an abyss.
