The day you ended our love,
     A part of me died.
But I can't help but think that,
                     as you gave back that love,
    You were the one who cried.

You said you didn't need me.
     Did you really mean it?
But as time went on,
          I began to see
            That you didn't know what you wanted
              from life.
    Only that you didn't want me in it.

Life goes on.
     I didn’t think it would.
Life goes on.
     Even as by the bay alone I stood.

You're gone.
     You've hurt me.
         I'll think about you from time to time.
When I do, maybe I'll shed a tear.
     Not because I'll miss you,
     But because I'll feel sorry for you.
   Because our love was something wonderful to see,
       But you threw it away.

Life goes on.
             Not with you.
                      But with her.


 That which gives light must endure burning
--Victor Frankl

It does go on...sometimes you just wish it would go on a little faster and a little easier.
Another good one, Sven.

Now this is sappy BUT You need not stand alone at the bay, for a loving liked soul is always but a thought away......

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Sven. She took for granted what she had, while it hurts not to have someone appreciate your love at the end of the day it is her loss. I am sure that she wished that she had nurtured your love. You did the right thing and moved on. a sad poem, but as you said life goes on. enjoyed this one a lot.
