She made me cry in the middle of the night. Not for nothing unimportant; but for the reality of the love that she has for me

Dampened satin pillow cases and sheets from the tears of her eyes, she cried for me on the nights that we used to share, lost sleep for me on the days that seem like she didn't care; but ultimately she loved me more than I ever knew

Years passed and those hollow tears follows me for those passed years, I still cry in silence as I regret losing such a tender love, a true romance of a shattered soul...still I will wail for her return

My heart is on pause for the play-back of her love and beauty to return to me. All the days of nothingness has transformed into something of sadness, something I should have done;but failed to do in the very beginning of our love

Still I feel that she loves me, I in turn know that I love her...so is this the saddest thing to lose sleep on, on restful nights?

Begging her pardons several times over the phone; but never in person, I feel her pain of lost and regret as she cry aloud writhing her hollowed soul

The reverberating sounds of whimpering makes me weak-I cannot allow her to live this pain alone...I want to embrace her tightly and kiss all her pain away; and assure her that it was all a dream

Lesson learned that it is the saddest thing to lose a true love from the tightest grasps of one's hands...the saddest thing is to live life knowing that your true love was lost to silent lips and talkative phrases on paper, instead of gentle whispers on the lobes of tender ears

Is narrative prose your style of writing? As a reader, I find it difficult to stick with narratives and give up before then end. But it is a perfectly acceptible format.

Why, yes it is...I love this style. I flow better as a writer, I do not think about what to write, my pen does it for me. I just hold the instrument and it plays whatever is in its heart. Thank you very much for your critique. You took the time to read my work, for this alone I am happy, honored and quite surprised. This will not be my last post.

Thanks Sensei... I'm trying to get over these necessary "hang-ups" for posting another poem/prose. I have so many to post and I have to wait. I truly respect the input of others, otherwise I would have not joined this site. I will also get the chance to "chop" a few lines of yours as well master...(bowing my head)

I'm the same way Soulful_Poet, I usually write stream-of-conscious because the feelings and observations are so genuine. It was only later that I was able to take those streaming thoughts and narrow them down to a few sharp and "biting" lines that carried all the weight of the original idea. This poem has a lot of potential to harness. Consider yourself lucky since you already have the words, you can shape them however you want.

Welcome to GP by the way.

Sorry I put the wrong title on my work. The first title actually goes to another one of mt works, I apologize for that.
