Dark Shadows of Lost Love

I am watching the dark shadows 
Of the ones who left me 
Without a goodbye 
From the balcony of my somber mind 

I want to throw the crumpled papers 
In which I wrote love letters
At the shadows 
And burn them with fire from my heart

I want to desecrate the shadows with 
The ashes from the papers 
Painting my agony 
Smoke may reach them in nightmares

Depriving them the joy of peaceful sleep
Like I am suffering everyday
For one night for 
Reminding them the pain of losing love 


 
A poetry based on #DarkLines word prompt .

Beautifully written. I especially liked the line "burn them with fire from my heart".

So powerful! A beautiful expression of anger, sorrow, and grief.
