Can you...

By Channa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Can you... Taste the salt from the tears I cry As you just said your last goodbye? Can you... See the hurt in my chestnut brown eyes as on me, you chose to walk on by? Can you... Feel the ripple of this wretched pain that you inflicted in my heart again? Can you... Hear that agony in my confused mind screaming for a love that I cannot find? Can you... Smell the scent of utter desperation like sweet flowers cut to destruction Can  you... Sense that pure innocent trust shattered at your feet like diamond dust Can you... Imagine the hope laying at my feet as cold as the icy  rainy crystal sleet can you... Hold on to your righteous religion when you've played so well with my emotions? Can you?
