You fell for me hard,
almost at first sight,
my fault to have caught you off-guard,
actually I had no right.

You didn't want to live
without me at your side,
funny how you'd always forgive
my flirting far and wide.

But love can't reside
in a place that has died.

I let you go, for your own good.
And hopefully soon you will see
what you can do and what you should,
that you'll be just fine

without me.

Sometimes it is hard to move on, even when it is for the best.  Nicely penned Dixie.

Hi Dixie, this sounds like a lonely poem with really no one happy, you brought the feeling of heartbreak across, passion and compassion, but also the view that life goes on, enjoyed the read my friend, thank you for sharing.

hardest thing to do, is to put our own feelings and emotions aside and let those we adore go to grow and be groomed by life...a perception mother's have...

hugs to ya

A lovely poem Dixie written with a lot of thought. Sad, but these things do happen.
blue skies for you in the future.
