I pull back, I've been burnt, I've got too close to you, now i'm paying the price. You told me that you care, that you need me in your life but it sounded so superficial and didnt ring true. You told me what I wanted to hear, yet I knew it wasnt the truth. I couldnt bear to look at you, needed to keep my strength, couldnt be doing with love anymore its had to turn to hate. The hate spurred me on making me forget that I ever cared. The depths of my love I hoped would disappear, into the silence of the night, reaching up into the stars, only to be reflected back at me when least expected. You see it comes so easy just the sound of your name stabs me in the heart, somehow you destroy me without even being there. No words need to be spoken yet you cut me like a knife. You're out of my life still the spirit of you is overpowering, it breaks through any wall, hitting me with force, always finding a way to attack me. You've disregarded me, made me feel like a fool, played around with my heart and made me doubt myself. Your words they burned me, your actions destroyed me but your eventual silence killed me. |

Okay...I don't write love poems well because I tend to put a twist of humor in it or a blade in it's back, Just a writers domain I guess. But this was so well constructed. It had love, loss, regret, pain, broken heart, what ifs, what nows and finally. . . the end. This was very, VERY good. I applaud you because the flow in this was awesome. Nice writing!
