The Moment I Cried



Refreshing thoughts of an unfolded past
Denouncing still the time at first I heard your name.
Quivering heart beats like it is incessantly
Knowing you, would mean different today.

From the time of hearing, till the call of seeing,
The man whom I could not resist thinking,
This world of mine became unfathomably changing
For it only wants this gal of great responsibility.

Still I remember the shouts of reality
Like a clinging vine of laborious cries
That, for once, you stepped into my life,
But with long engagement to another vine.

The tears in my eyes contour the ache
But the heart still keeps on searching.
I love the way you care for me
Only to find out you’re no longer here.

The moment I cried, I thought of ceasing the pain
I thought of leaving something just to fight.
But weakness drowned me in.
I can’t stop falling; all I want is your deep CARESS!

    This poem is an absolutely beautiful depiction of heartbreak and longing. The author manages to encapsulate the raw and painful emotions that come with unrequited love with beautiful imagery and deeply powerful language. This is a truly moving piece that manages to both break and heal the heart at the same time. The juxtaposition of the speaker's deep desire for this person with the reality that they cannot be together is truly heart-wrenching, and the reader is left feeling both sympathy and admiration for the author's honesty and vulnerability. Overall, this is an incredibly powerful and emotive poem that will resonate with readers long after they have finished reading it. Well done!
