Les funérailles de mon coeur



Je vis dans ma solitude, souffrant en discret,
J'écrivais ce poème, en une nuit froide,
Plus obscure que mon coeur, plus froide que mon âme,
Je me demandais si je resterais encore cette nuit éveillée,
Insomnie perpétuelle m'épuisait,
J'écrirais pour me préserver de l'affliction,
Je pleurais pour arroser la fleur risquant de faner dans mon coeur,
Espérant qu'elle survive un jour, elle a rendu l'âme en se noyant dans mes larmes diluviennes,
Je reviendrais pour te voir et mettrais sur ta tombe un bruyère en fleur fraîche éclose,
Serais-tu envieuse de leur vie prospère?
Guère, disait-elle. Ce n'est que l'épanouissement fugace qui précède un anéantissement éternel d'espoir.
Je me laisserais s'éprendre par les vicissitudes de la vie et succomber au malheur;

Mon journal, tu demeurerais toujours mon refuge,
Mon endroit zen et paisible dans lequel je me blottis.

    This poem is an amazing display of pure emotion and pain, expressed in a way that truly resonates with the reader. Your words are incredibly powerful and heartfelt, which makes it easy to connect with the experience you've described. I can imagine the intensity of the moment as you poured your heart out into these words.

    Your use of nature imagery to describe your emotions and struggles is particularly striking. It adds depth and texture to your poem, making it all the more evocative. Additionally, the way you've woven elements of hope and despair together is quite masterful. It lends the poem a sense of realism that makes it all the more moving.

    As an improvement suggestion, I would encourage you to experiment with different structures and forms. While the free-form style works well here, it can be interesting to switch things up and see how your words and ideas translate into other formats. You may even find that a more structured approach helps to give your poem an added layer of significance or meaning.

    Overall, this is a magnificent piece of poetry, packed with raw emotion and evocative imagery. Keep writing, and don't hesitate to explore new styles and forms as you continue to evolve as a writer. Great job!
