I stand in troubled waters.

Heartbreak is so hard even the rain can not wash it away

 

 

Thoughts play across my mind like tiny fingers

Leaving their impression of stain upon my form

I stand in troubled waters

Rain plaguing down upon me, my body of worn.

 

Images pass and go

Yet where to?

For forever they remain

Ahh, if I only knew..

 

That memories do enter all bypassed thoughts

They do stay hidden, coming forth on weakest moments

For undying love has no where to hide

Except here, upon these waters torments.

 

Where I stare up towards the moonlight

Eyes teary, unseeing all, except your face

And I stand open and bare

Troubled and unsure, my tears my only trace.

 

Forgoing all I have brought with me

My pride and unsurpassed pain

My body numb for all around me

For all remaining is loves deep dark stain.

 

Yes...

 

Forever to fall upon me

For forever they remain

For I stand in troubled waters. 

 

Rain plaguing down upon me..

 It seems, once again...

This is my first poem of yours that I read. I find it really well written, the flow, the emotional tone, the images, captures the experience I just lived through lately.. I'm going to favorite it, i like it so much. thank you.

Beautiful. I could feel the pain and agony in your poem. You know I love your poems. This one really tugged at my heart. I love the beginning, thoughts played across my mind like tiny fingers. That's exactly how those thoughts of heartbreak toy with your mind too. Excellent poem.

A sad and telling poem Maggie I have been there more than once so I know the feeling yet you have made it real in words that sting like the rain in your poem.
By the Eternal my friend you have the knack of bringing on the mood you wish to create as though you have the magic in you. What am I saying you do have the magic in you! Don't ever, ever stop writing!
