Words on a Page

I loved her so much,
there was a piece
missing in my life
and she came to me
and played the part
until she left
taking with her
a piece of my heart.

I know these are
just words on a page
but they tell a story
of yearning and fulfillment
of hopes and fears
of love and acceptance
of happiness and heartaches
of love and heartbreak.

James, to paraphrase Edward Bulwer-Lytton's well-known adage, words on a page blast louder than a bomb, for good or for evil. If only the world understood that there would be so much more peace and understanding in the world. I enjoyed your poem.

That's all we can do sometimes, James, is put words on a page.

You stated it so well, a phenomenon most women don't seem to understand about us men.

"taking with her
a piece of my heart."

Nice write, James!!

Words are powerful things, capable of inciting emotion, reflecting memory or dream... and sadly, sometimes to wrech the heart. This was a beautiful reflection.
