Hearts That Never Mend

Last night I dreamed of muted sounds
where echoes have no end
Which came from sorrows people face
with hearts that never mend

They follow down the path that leads
through shadows of despair
Beyond the stream of tears they've cried
to the path that leads nowhere

Where the sobs are only memories
that haunt without a word
And bring to life the distant past
of voices never heard

But in the forest of the lost
are trees of lonesome pain
Which mark the passing of the ones
who've ever loved in vain

To escape you must remember
that Death's your only friend
From all the sorrow's people face
with hearts that never mend

I loved your fourth verse, where you spoke of trees in lonesome pain, and those who have loved in vain. Your metered rhymes are most impressionable, evocative and melodic...but so is love!

Thank you for that kind review, I certainly appreciate it. As for the poem...lol...you should read Love is....

Such is the ways of the tender hearted... perhaps death is the only friend. A powerful write leaving me pondering thoughts and words. Well done.

This is a sad but beautiful piece. It reminds me that people feel sorrow and heartbreak that leaves a lasting mark, and that some people are unable to completely be who they once were again. The words definitely leave an impression and are well-written. Good job with this one, love your work.

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate each one.

Such sadness and dispair in an excellent rhyming and metred verse with some lovley phrases. My favourite: "But in the forest of the lost
are trees of lonesome pain,"

Thanks John, I appreciate it

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This is the best piece I have read of yours and it is a very worthy piece indeed. Many could not mach it for flow and meter and rhyme.

[Pure Evil]

You have NO idea how much that means to me John....

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I hope so and hope you keep writing.

This one's a downer, but the rhyming and meter are very good. Reads like a scene from Dante's Inferno.
