Benighted,the
black cages
in my stomach
rise, trying to
contain the
remainder of
my feelings
for you.
You left my
body, an empty
casket. A cold
and fragile
canvas, covered
in your graffiti;
your lies.
I'm scarred and
pushed too far.
People stare,
attempt to
analyse,
understand,
but they can't.
I need a passer
by, to pick up
my ring, which
has fallen to the
ground, as my
hand hangs
limply.Symbolising
my agonising
commitment to
you.

Hello Beeme! I really love this one - as you know, I've always been a sucker for your love poetry! The lines about the graffiti did jar with me a bit and I wonder if you would consider:
'You left my
body, an empty
casket. A cold
and fragile
canvas, covered
in your false
graffiti.'
or
'You left my
body, an empty
casket. A cold
and fragile
canvas, covered
in your graffiti;
your lies.
But this is a really great poem and I love the short-line structure too ;)
