"They Had a Love"

They had a love
A love that was built from being friends
Together forever
They pledged till the end

That love grew
It grew like a Rose does in Spring
It took to flight
On an Angel's wing

Sharing the past parts of their life
Trusting, though it was delicate as lace
The one knowing she'd finally
Finally found her place

Both neglected from circumstances
Life showed them hard abuse
From the seeds of friendship
That love blossomed and grew

Then the lies and games
Came rolling in...on an angry Sea
She destroyed the love they had
Finally killing thee...

Yes this is me I speak of
All I say is true
Never in all the days did I realize
I just never had a clue

That you could be so hateful
Breaking my heart without a care
You promised that you'd always love me
Saying our love was true and rare

But my heart you have shattered
Like a crystal chandelier
But no longer shall these eyes of blue
Weep for you a tear

You took the love I gave you
And crushed it...till it could be crushed no more
The very soul of who I am
You carelessly ripped and tore

You know what my life has been
How hard it was for me to trust another
All the pain I've had to endure
Especially the death of my Mother

And now even still
After all has been said and done
You're out still to destroy my life
As though you haven't begun

What do you want from me?
I gave you my every, my all
I'd have done anything you wanted
I was at your beck and call

Sacraficing for you
I lost the very essence of me
Those chains that I thought you had broke
Now choke me once more, no longer leaving me free

Only now the chains are tighter
The darkness giving way to light
Once again I have to find the courage
To pick myself up and fight

How many times must one person
Have to lose their entire heart
To start anew again
A new course they must chart

Someday perhaps you'll understand
The depth of what you did to me
But somehow I seriously doubt it
You're too caught up in you, now I see

So now the time has come
For me to say goodbye and go
I wish that I had never met you
Just thought I'd let you know

Amy,
I don't know if you are healing or not but you are certainly writing powerfully. *HuGS*

Amy dear heart, I thought I'd send this back to the top. Just because, it could be read by a few more I think!
Your heart will mend love, someone out there is the one true heart for you. I know it. Trust me I work with doctors. Admittedly not a very good reason, especially the way I think about them.

Anyway this is truly powerful and so back to the top it goes
Take care love as always

Well, Aims...first of all, as usual, you have done an excellent job of expressing your hurt here...and second, everything happens in our lives for a reason, even if that reason is far beyond us. You, girlie, will come out of this a better person than you already are! Love ya, m'friend!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

thank you all for your kind words,
understanding, and support through
this difficult time in my life. you
each have carved your own special
place in my heart and as time is
progressing...i am healing. god bless
you all and once again thanks. it
means the world to me!
