hey, i wrote this a while back and it is sorta a true story, so tell me what you think.

      -Love Lost-

Life can be tough at times.
You may want to end it sometimes.

Why wont this pain go away?
Nobody ever made me feel that way.

When I was with her I was free.
I could be whatever i wanted to be.

But her feelings just weren't there,
and we vanished into thin air.

I gave her my heart,
And she tore it apart.

I see her with him now,
And I ask myself, how?

How did we get here?
This is what I always feared.

I guess i must let her go,
but my love will only grow.

Pain is terrible and lost loves are the most dreaded of all pain.  Good luck in replacing her with a new love.  You sound young.  Nice poem and very therapeutic to write about it.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Matt, you are not alone, I too have been suffering this grief and my love for her only grows though I know it will never be true! (sad sigh) This is a touching debut, sweet friend, I LOVE IT! Welcome to Passions, sweet Matt, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Matt, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

"I gave her my heart,
And she tore it apart."
i liked these lines Matt...
also i read this poem as a one who has suffered from the same pain years ago.
seeing her with another one really hurts;doesn't it?
thanks for your share....
