Dead Love

Free verse poem by: Christopher Grier

Love?

Thy heart bleeds in pain

Broken by thy bane of grief…

I sorrow days and nights

T'was the judgment of sorrow?

Silence upon love's heart…

Love?

Thus heart of love dead?

Silence, silence, silence…

Voices of thy love heart grieves in pain

Sorrow from love obliged?

Tis dead love to blame?

Love?

Thy love speak to me…

Tis love that speaks truth?

Tis love that speaks love?

Sorrow of dead love…

Speak to thy love.

Love…

Tis dead love grief in oblivion?

Love speaks…

Thou dead love is silenced?

Love…

Forgive thy dead love's heart…
