On Love’s Lonely Heels

Aimee Ketsdever 'goodbye to the sun'

These look like strong hands,
don’t they?

Ill fated hands–clinched

Still, I cannot bind you to me
I am estranged– from myself.

In spirit, I follow you blindly
whispering pure devotions, echoes.

To beckon a heart yet to notice me.
grasping at loves lonely heels
holding tight.

Remaining in a forever
without you– in anguish
for your acceptance–ill granted?

Is it my destiny to
remain still?  Remain silent?

Tormented whispers

Am I not dear to you?
devoted, my love?

On loves lonely heels,
I am a fool–such weakness.

My hands ache, as my heart aches.

Clinched fists forced to open

Only to reveal fingernail deep
impressions of my anger.

Is this it, love?

My failure?

I am weak, my love.
wake me…dear love.

Am I so noxious to you?

Steadfast, I will remain silent.
Quieted with in-decisions
remind me, love…wake me.

For on loves lonely heels
I will wait– and slumber.

  1. I was seeking for something to sooth me, I couldn’t find a better spot, thank you for sharing.

  2. First off, Happy New Year, dear AIDY! :-)

    Aww, speak of heart wrench for this beginning of the year. *Warm Hugs*
    Love is a formidable diet, when nonreciprocal. But the heart forgets not.

    A part of me is glad you’re posting your own poems. Another is too biased to remain indifferent to heart-related hardships. *Another warm hug*

    But take my word for it: it’s better to love than being unable to love.

    You know I’m more than there if your heart needs vacuuming! :-)

    • Happy New Year to my dear Blogami! Good to see you writing again. I am glad to be able to think long enough to start actually writing again, still kinda in the blahs after being sick for the last five days or so but back nonetheless. You are a dear and it is great to know I have a shoulder to lean on!

      -hugs-
