picking up the pieces

when love is new and so thrilling
promises made and both so willing
to compromise and forgive
just so that their love can live

things are said and love is sweet
angry words wer'e quick to sweep
because we know that love is real
and the angry words we forget to feel

mistakes are made, much more than my share
dirty laundry gets easier to air
as we walk away from the one so dear
no room now for the air to clear

unwilling to bend hearts get broken
leaving pieces so terribly shattered
the love we vowed would be forever spoken
with pieces scattered and seems never mattered

there is no glue to ment this heart
no string to tie us and keep us close
we both to prideful so we stay apart
pick up the pieces, and put them away.

she got to him in ways i can't
for love can't be bought
it's not for sale
but seems it can be rented

i just can't pick the pieces up
he left them in the trash
waste management 101
let the pieces crash

Very expressive!!! Love does go through various stages of growth and/or deterioration as you have expressed so very well here. Sometimes it does take going back to the early days when love was so new and so thrilling and both where so willing to forgive. Your poem spoke to me personally and I do hope that you will be able to one day pick up those broken pieces and glue them together as to make something new and thrilling for your life and for the lives of those you love and for those who love you in return. Good job. -Bob

Lighthousebob's pretty much said everything I thought when reading this.

Very well expressed.
