The Meaning of Love? MAG
November 8, 2008
The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am Mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.

best poem i've ever read i just loveeeeeeeee itttt.....:)
I thought you poem was very beautifully writen. Your words leave me silent. I love the pale rose sunset and bare feet bit. But the part about 'Abandoned inocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.' makes me feel sad, like love isn't real. It's just about loosing you inocence, getting hurt and looking for love again like an on going cycle of stupidity. Life is more than just stranded love lifes. But I really think you have a way with words. Keep Up the beauty. :)
