Thought time would never know,
How I stole a moment away-
what seemed like a lifetime with you
was just an hour in the middle of a day,
Smiling before the future were;
The moment slipped away.

Now you’re with another,
Hours seem more like days-
beyond the aching of my missing heart
once laid a soul bare in paradise,
You destroyed me without a care;
Memories shall haunt my forgotten tears.

Then I say a pray to whoever listens,
Reach out and take my hand-
I invite thee to a passing dance
and birds shall fall then rise once more
like our hearts on the waves beyond the shore,
And no more shall I breathe tonight;
As the spirit of my light fades back into night.

this was an amazing confession of the true feelings of rejection...but this part

You destroyed me without a care;
Memories shall haunt my forgotten tears.

I don't believe truly, that anyone sets out to destroy another...matter of factly, she is probably hurting just as much as you, for the cause of it....but hurt and anger blinds us from compassion and understanding...and we want what we want, when we want it.  Doesn't take away the hurt, believe me, been here, felt that, and wanted so badly to hurt back, but it is these selfish feelings that are the demise of our healing.

Tremendous write, sending best wishes for the seasoning of this to subside.

Hi, Lee. It has been a while since I have read a poem of yours and this poignantly, poetic piece of writing makes me regret it even more! There is a depth to your words that truly touches this reader. You are becoming a very fine poet.
