Random Writings

[Psiko]

I've never been good about keep up with these sort of threads. They usually fade into nothingness after time passes, but who knows? Maybe this one will be successful! I'm not going to limit myself on this, I might post old or new stuff. Sometimes it might be poetry, sometimes a story, other times might just be something random taken from my writing notebook if I feel it is worth adding. I welcome all criticism, as I am far from the state of perfection in writing.

That being said, here is a poem I just finished writing. I've written many love poems in the past, and so I thought I'd try a different approach on the subject. Let me know what you think:

When Love Dies

Where does love go when it begins to die?
Does it fade and then turn into black?
Does it hide in the labyrinth of our heart and soul
Waiting to someday come back?
Could it be that it never was there,
That what we took for love was a lie?
Blind to the truth, overwhelmed by emotion,
We fought just to keep it alive.
How can we feel it so pure and so strong
Only to one day have it stripped away?
Does the place in your heart become a dark void,
Growing colder with each passing day?
In time we learn to accept the idea
That the love is no longer there;
We go back to hoping and searching for
A new love that might someday repair
That rift in our heart and our soul
Where the dead love once did dwell;
And hope that this time it will be real
To avoid the agony of love's dying hell.
