I gave you what I had given to no other...
I gave you my heart to keep as a treasure.

Heartache is what I am feeling...
Knowing eventually you will be leaving.

Anger is what envelops my heart...
Knowing you lied to me from the start.

My mind telling me I did the right thing...
My heart holding on to the last string.

How long will I be fighting this battle inside of me?
Will I ever be set free?

I know that you have to do
what is right for you...
All I ask is to yourself be true.

If with me your life must not be...
Then please be kind and set my heart free.

For until that time comes...
I will still be holding on to you.
Wondering if you can see my love for you so true.

This is a great poem and one that I can relate to. There is no worst feeling in the world then to have your heart broken. When you love someone, you give them your heart and when they leave you, your heart is broken. Time may heal all wounds, but the broken heart will never fully mend. Be stronge my poet friend, and soon there will be another. Society teaches us nothing to what we really need to know, but what we learn through life, we learn for a reason. I wish you the best of luck with the search for love and happiness...I hope soon I will find mine. You are a good poet and I look forward to reading more of your creative art.

This is a very very good poem. Yes one has my heart as well. Unrequited love, a very painful and desructive feeling.  Only wish they'd let go. so that I can find happiness. The battle you speak of is,at least for me, an eternal one, just keep fighting will all your will and strength..and Fate will bring to you what you need most.

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

Great emotion, I know exactly what you meant in your poem and share your feelings totally.  Its a shame sometimes when we love someone that they can't always give us a proper ending rather than just leaving us to work it out for ourselves!  Good luck for the future and keep writing!!

virgo...that's such a true poem...
it's sad when feelings are not reciprocated...but it's orst when you are cheated...
well done!

Great poem..

"If with me your life must not be...
Then please be kind and set my heart free."

I know how painful that is.  To love someone but not have that love returned.  But since you truely love them, you can't let go.  All that you want is closure.  But it takes two for such a thing.  Get those emotions out.  Great poem.  I hope you are set free.

Virgo~
I can relate
to this poem. It
would be so much easier
if they would let us go though
it would still hurt a great deal to know that it is really over. A lot of time in our
heads we know what we should do but we follow our heart and what we
want to do even though
we know it leads
to pain and
heartache
~Angie
