Fantasy  (not you)

Oh yes it's true more than anything in this world I wanted you.
I thought you were a blessing of Love sent from above.
These thoughts led me to pursue you deligently
and soon I was offering my love openly
and finally giving away my love shamelessly.

Today that love is far away from my heart.
And after all was said and done
in realization that only one heart was true
and the heart belonged to me not you
I have stepped right into reality
and I have accepted the truth that you will never
give me the Love I need.
My hopes for me and you will only be what they can be and that would be a fantasy.

Great poem! Unfortunate sitation but i surely hope you get better. I've been through this and it's no party.

It's unfortunate how these situations happen.  My heart goes out to you, for I have been here too.  Hang in there.

Great poem.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

There is nothing wrong with looking back on a love lost.  Things are meant to be for a reason. Though it may take a very long time before we fully understand what they were.  

I do so love how you write so accuratly from experience...

Everything that happens to us good or bad happens to teach us something.  You've learned here hon so it's all not a complete loss or waste of time.
Beautifully expressed...

I felt this one...pierced my wall just a little bit...extremely well written.

Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
