Once Again I’m Broken

Just one conversation That is all it took A few minutes of chatting And I broke again. One conversation And the memories won’t stop Wounds so deep They’ll never truly heal. Of the hurt and the pain The betrayals and the lies Of trust broken over and over again By the one I loved the…

A Lie

I love you, my love But my love’s become a lie Created by the fiction you wove From the first time You showed me your quasi-love. When your feelings were untrue How can what we shared not be a pretense? And when all that we shared was a lie, How can my love for you…

Never A Part of You

Gave you my love Gave you my heart Gave you my soul Gave you my trust Made you a part of me. Everything I gave you Meant nothing to you In every way you could You let me know thatI was never a part of you.

Please Forgive Me

Can you ever forgive me for what I did? The way I broke your trust I wouldn’t forgive me. I’m sorry I let my feelings get in the way I’m sorry My feelings made things hard for you. When what I feel for you is true, I should never have made things difficult for you….

Lost

I’m hurt This pain I feel My heart wretched My mind distressed All I want is to feel numb. You’re annoyed I don’t want to badger you I do want to know why But you wouldn’t say All you do is evade. Anything good we had Already thrown into disarray Lost while we were wrapped…

Laid Bare

I was hurting, I needed a friend I thought you wouldn’t judge me I thought you were my friend. My strengths and my weaknesses I showed to you Things that made me happy, And the ones that had broken me too. My past and my present, You knew it all My tears and my jouissance,…

The Love Story That Wasn’t – II

Part II – I Miss You There’s love at first sight We hear and read about it often. But with wonderment I had a crush on your beautiful voice At first listen And your beautiful smile And your soothing presence And your quiet encouragements Your gentleness I miss so much Is that even possible? Are…

The Love Story That Wasn’t – I

Part I – The Tainted Image You came into my life When the clouds were dark There wasn’t a silver lining to be found My whole world was bleak And everyday was broken, Lengthy and unceasing. You came into my life When I’d stopped looking When all hope was gone My heart was numb And…

Dead Inside

To not feel a thing To numb myself To not hurt again Those were my aims. A dead heart inside No turmoil in my mind The peace for which I’d strived In a vacuum it lies. No hurt, no pain No feeling uncertain No hope to be crushed No turbulence in my heart. No confusions,…

Can We Not Be Us?

I wish I had not told you how I felt about you I wish I had not acted on my impulse the way I always do Wish I’d just let it be and admired you from a distance I wish we’d stayed the friends we used to be If only I hadn’t said anything, Would…

Not Reading The Same Book Anymore

I always thought you & I were reading from the same page. But I was so engrossed in reading, trying to understand what was in the page, I didn’t even realize when you’d turned the page. We stopped being on the same page. In fact, we were not even reading the same book anymore. You’d…

A Flawed Love

I have never wanted you to give me the stars I have never wanted the moon All I had wanted were moments spent with you Small, insignificant and yet so dear. To wake up next to you To run my fingers on your face Pillow talks as we fall asleep To hold you and be…

I Cannot Make You Love Me

I can pen for you A thousand poems Put together words That speak of what I hold in my heart. I could sing for you a million songs Put out of tune melodies to the depths That words cannot alone express Of how much I long for your love. I could make as many sketches…

Thoughts Of You

My mind is running Thoughts of you flashing In my mind’s eye Your smile playing. The gentleness in your eyes Every time you looked at me The playfulness in your voice Whenever you spoke to me Those memories of you So overwhelming. The warmth I felt Just having you near me Your voice so soothing…
