    Unfinished

     though scarred my heart still follows
    your sweet haunting lullaby
    a musical dream, compelling me
    without reason to justify

    the terror of possibility
    for those who live denied
    renders all in hazy hopelessness
    and ever love contrived

    accept our minds cannot contain
    the beacon of heart fire
    with courage we must face the day
    our souls learn to aspire

    while many live with purpose
    it most often is a lie
    you long for real connection
    then, faithless, you deny

    you're drawn by pain-filled longing
    a bright white shiny knight
    you rescue damsels in distress
    but keep your heart locked tight

    I heard the words you said to me
    and thought my heart would drown
    I faced the bitter, mocking mirror
    and tore the damned thing down

    then heard the relentless whisper
    of the music of my heart
    envision then joy's pure refrain
    recognize your counterpart

    once and one time only
    comes this chance for dreams come true
    please take my hand, believe in me
    I am unfinished without you

    A most haunting, broken love story told here without the searched for end... hence the title...*unfinished*. A brilliantly, flowing write!

    Although I love the sentiment and have experience it myself I think that the poem is specific to you and your true love and leaves little room for the reader to project themselves in this space. I will leave you a PM regarding the changes that could be made to make the poem more universal. The changes are just suggestions.

    thank you - I'll keep an eye out. however, I enjoy writing from the first person perspective and, as a reader, have no problem projecting myself into that style of writing. In fact, I find it easier to identify - probably just a matter of preference...but I'm interested to see what you did with it and I really appreciate the feedback.
