At your grave

...my tribute to Heathcliff and Cathy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm lonely, living in the past days,

I stayed here, you left me

to drown in tears

 

At your grave

 

all that's left of me,

is there with you,

in the cold embrace

of your grave

 

Heartbroken wind,

my heart cries in pain,

my soul screaming in agony

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At your grave

 

I have never felt as lonely

myself than it is now,

 

Your last resting place

    will also be my grave

 

At your grave

 

   I dig my own grave

 

      to be with you

 

           Forever

 

At your grave

 

all that's left of me,

is there with you,

in the cold embrace

of your grave

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This poem is inspired by Wuthering Heights (my all time favorite book ever) by Emily Brontë, it tells Heathcliff's grief after Cathy died. In the 2009 film version of Wuthering Heights Heathcliff dig Cathy's grave open so that he could be closer to her. It always give me shivers. Heathcliff's grief, agony, pain and sorrow. All of those emotions on his face. All rights belong to the author, Emily Brontë. This is only my tribute to Heathcliff and Cathy.

It's a beautiful poem, and has a lot of feeling put into it, I can tell how much love you have for the book by the language you use in the poem. It actually reminds me of a different story and resonates pretty closely to me too!
It is an amazing piece of work and you should be proud!

I like the photos. Gave life to the words in the poem. When you lose a real love. The pain is held till death. Good description gave life to the poetry. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
