Poem - Broken Heart
42The Mourning Bell's Toll
Long days with nights longer still,
I labor on with a tormented heart.
A slide show so vividly clear plays in my minds eye.
An enjoyed moment shattered by the ringing
of the mourning bell's toll.
Slipping into the abyss of darkness
I pray for the pain and sorrow to be replaced
with the emptiness I have embraced for so long.
Let the light fad and strip me of these pictures I hold so dear.
Keep the mourning bell from ringing true
and taunting my mind and heart.
Keep it from filling me with such distain for life.
Let the emptiness come;
let the toll be paid in full.

....i dunt get it
hum.. well niara, first let me say thanks for reading and commenting on my poem. You might try reading it again with the idea of: Mourning vs. Morning, and (N) Toll, fee, damage, deaths; (V) Toll, ring out, warn, signal. If this does not help, please let me know. I'll be more than happy to explain. Many thanks, Dr. B.

,,,I LIKE YOUR POEM,, IT WAS GREAT]
Hi, everyone sems to like your poem, but i don't excactly understand it. Could you please explain it? Thanks.
It's about being alone for a very long time then finding someone special and loving them. You devote your life to them and believe they to you. You have a wonderful time together, but come to learn it's a lie. You find them cheating. It's about that pain and those images kicking your ass! ... And just wishing it would all go away like it was when you were just alone.
I like your poem. My heart was just broken and it needs time to be healed. I'm sad but will be all right some day soon.
