Annie's Poetry

I tried to write you out of my heart
but your name constantly
finds the page every time
I spoke to the sea in songs of regret
I sang to the stars in songs of despair
they wrote my fate on a tablet of bone
and buried it beneath
the mountain of vows we could not keep
I drained the river of memories dry
in an effort to forget your name
but still it circles in the hollows of my soul
the light that once completed me
has now fled to the edges of darkness
where I am spiralling down
completely undone, my heart breaking
and the gods are ever silent
