Out Of Tears

An Italian Sonnet (Sonetto Rispetto)

The desert heat is unbearable
Fathoms deep was the pool i once cried
A roller-coaster ride completely unstable
Every little burning truth denied
A midnight's haunting incomparable
Every rule and regulation defied
No moistness, just dryness in my eye
I feel nothing, no longer can i cry

You've gone to never come back
Sailing on a ship and making port
Flying on a plane, to land far away
Instantly my world tuned a dull solid black
No one to hold me high and give any support
Darker than a misty afternoon, turned has my day

Hiding underground while up above, planes bombard
Digging without directions to the earth's core
Running aimlessly down miles of orchard
Sailing at sea, lost with no land to drop anchor
Seven months, i have bitterly wept buckets long and hard
So hard, my water supply spewed dry, i cant cry anymore

This piece is a write from the depths of your heart, and through your words I feel your pain.
It's when you can't cry that causes the pain to intensify, because there is no way to release the pain from within. If someone doesn't respond or appreciate you, there will always be someone in this world that will treat with love causing you no harm or hurt in your life as Im sure you know my friend. Blessings ~ Jude :-)

"I feel nothing, no longer can i cry"

I love this line. :)

Deeply intense and creative work... the metaphors played out smoothly to get the heartbreak across. Nice work.
