Deja vu

This has happened before, i remember.
I have been here with you ,in this secluded place.
Were i can hear you breath.
I can feel on my cold face, your soft and warm breath .
I heard the shortness of your breath
The stiffness of your erect body ,when our bodies became one.
I have been here before, now i remember.

What i don't remember is opening a vault which released a sea of tears.
I dont remember crushing your heart to bits of sand.
but i remember waking up with you in my arms and i dissappeared before the morning came .

Now you walk a ghost , your soul stolen.
Your heart is a solid stone
Your veins dried up your blood turned to sand.
You dont want any one to touch you.

I instantly feel your anguish, which is so hard to do in such a short piece. This is beautifully written. Very nice.

J, the first line is far too long (in my opinion anyway) but out side of that, and a few typos, this is glorious. I agree with pitbull....the lines ~

"What i dont remember is opening a vault which released a sea of tears
i dont remember crushing your heart to bits of sand."
are just lovely.....thank you for posting this one....it's sweetly shrouded in sadness and beauty....

Very touching poem about a lover who has passed on? Very effective imagery. Couple of minor typos though (first line beath instead of breath).

i dont remember crushing your heart to bits of sand." and "Now you walk a ghost , your soul stolen "Now you walk a ghost , your soul stolen" it makes me feel your pain...oh its sad yet so nicely written :)
