Death of Our Love

I want you I love you
It's been said to me
You have treated me so
Differently than others

Come to me and I
Will show you my love
Come fly to me and
I will be yours

Night and day; Day and night
My thought belong to the one
Forsaken all others' love
My walls quickly tumbled

Day one turns into Day 7
Week one is now going on two
Where are you; what did I do?
Why don't I hear from you?

Where's all the love
That you promised me
Where's the hope of
The day we're together

Feeling used yet again
Giving my heart to another
Strung along to believe in love
Only to be stripped of it

10 days - no word prompts a call
Hello resounds from the other end
I didn't recognize your voice
My hopes die - turn to despair

Love now feels dirty and ugly
Used and abused to be a muse
Promises of a life together...
Were just smoke and mirrors?

I am told let go; move on
You have so much to offer
But now I cling to a hope
Of something that has withered

So, is it over you and me?
Do you wish to be let go?
Why don't you talk and
Tell me what you want.

Email arrives late at night
Anticipating a joyful messages
I open it my eyes wide in horror
Dear _______, It's Over!

This was filled with all the pain that lies
in the heart of the one that loves...to want
it all so much from another that is
unwilling or unable to give...your work
expressed the emotion acutely...excellent
writing~

Hi Butterflies_don't_cry


I saw it was coming I ignored the signs. I had faced this once before and saved our love but I am weary now.... Thanks for your thoughts....

Nothing grieves my heart as reading something like this.  I truly bleed for you, this was so moving and so touching.
It can only mean one thing, there is someone superior waiting for you through the next door......open it!

Thank you Irish Rose..

For today I mourn
The passing of love
Tomorrow I'll bury it
But for now I grieve< !signature-->

It's so sad when something that once was so beautiful ends on such a bad note.  I have known the pain of promises broken.  It's not easy to overcome.
