Through the years I've tried and tried
No longer am I satisfied
With showing you how it should be
And how to live more humanly

The love you have you never give
It amazes me how you can live
With yourself so dark and cold
Will you be this way until you grow old

How much more pain must I endure
To have you love me and insure
You'll make me happy all my life
And be with me as my wife

Do you miss me I can't tell
All the while I live in hell
You act as if nothing's wrong
Although you're not where you belong

I work so hard and toil all day
To come home and still have to pay
The dues that life has cast upon me
Are wearing me down but you can't see

In anger and sadness I now wallow
For it's my heart that I must swallow
Broken too much throughtout the years
Drowned in pools and pools of tears

Why oh why can you not see
The person I have inside of me
Because in your world you must dwell
While keeping me in my personal hell

You taunt, you tease and you flaunt
But what you have I don't want
A love so callous and so stale
It is my heart that you impale

No longer shall I rest with thee
No longer will you be with me
For it's my love that you forsake
Now it's a love you'll never take

you deserve to find someone who can see you and appreciate who you really are - hope you do someday.

another excllent expression GA...
and great flow and rhyme..you should give this to the person who evokes this in you...let them know...you done wasting your time on them. great job.

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...

This is so sad but beautifully written.  I too hope you find someone who loves and respects you for who and what you are..  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

very nice. it kind of reminds me of great expectations, where estella keeps pip at a distance and hardens her heart around him so she can continue to hurt him. excellent work.

Let me start by saying thank you all very much for reading this. I wrote it quite some time ago, a few months after my second wife had left me when she was pregnant. I tried several times to put things back together only to be thwarted at every turn. So I wrote this and I did give it to her. It brought her to tears, but still accomplished nothing other than airing my feelings. The love poems that some of you may have read that I have posted were also written some time ago for another woman who I made the mistake of falling in love with. She too ripped out my heart, stepped on it and threw it away. I no longer believe in love now a days and that can be seen in my more recent works which I have posted here. Who knows, someday maybe I'll learn to love again and be able to write about the light side of love. But until then, I will remain as a dark poet.

Thank you all once again. I'm sorry I made this responce so long, but I thought some history was in order to put things into perspective. Take care all.
