Haven't Met You Yet

Written 6/13/15 How is it possible To miss.. even love Someone you haven't met?

I have a stitched up
Gash
On my chest,
it used to be
An opened door.

I gave away
My heart... freely
To anyone that would accept it.

But I've severed all ties now
..No access here..
It's been shut down for repairs.

The color of love
Has been drained,
The flame that once consumed
Has since died out.

It's scarred,
Charred,
Tattered
And Torn
It's even missing some pieces.

But tonight
I feel my heart burning,
..Yearning..
For someone I don't even know.

How is it possible
To miss.. even love
Someone you haven't met?

I don't know
But when I find him
He can have the scissors
I've held onto
To cut the sutures
To my closed off heart.
[End]

Beautiful!
Love and hopelessness, pain and hope wrapped around each other delicately and intricately. Nicely crafted, dear Poet.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Thank you Misery!
Haha I guess those wishes of inspiration you gave me paid off. :D

[Misery]

...alas, my wretched days have counted for something worthwhile :-)

[GreenEyedPoet]

Don't sell yourself short, this can't be the first/only time your days have been counted for something worthwhile!

[Misery]

No, I only joke with you, dear poet.
You have created a wonderful poem and I have enjoyed reading it.

[GreenEyedPoet]

Glad you were joking lol.
And I'm glad you like the poem. I was honestly a bit iffy about it, but posted it for the simple fact that it was the first thing I've wrote in over a week lol.

[Misery]

I'm glad you did post it, it's a jewel.

[GreenEyedPoet]

It must be, everyone likes it, and it's even been put into two peoples libraries! :]
I was just iffy about it cause I thought it seemed a bit 'scattered'. But maybe I only see it that way because of how it turned out compared to how I was thinking of writing it.

[Misery]

A serendipitous treasure.

[GreenEyedPoet]

You're too kind Misery. :]
Again, thank you!

[Misery]

It is my delight, dear poet.
