You speak as if your voice should have a destination With dysfunctional words and their displacements But I can only hear a tornado of a hollow conversation Of a time now passed in the path of its destruction Only a silhouette is left of your imagination There is no need for us to add any complications So light another cigarette and please lets talk some more As tears begin falling collecting ashes on the floor Whats really on your mind lets both explore I loved you madly yesterday and today I loved you more But I left I thought for our own good Because love can't stand if its misunderstood I still remember kissing your your lips under the suns Radiant warmth that fit like a glove I cherish the first time I felt your touch An overwhelming feeling that was almost too much But the apples core started rotting out It once was sweet but I really doubt That we could ever build another bridge The last one we crossed was made up of twigs Uncertainty with every step Perceptions lacking all its depth More then Love I needed a friend And stregnth in that our love would mend But you made a choice and I made mine Our dreams had wings that would never fly So tell me what is your remedy To clear this dramatic melody Dont tell me you love me then leave me high Dont say that you want me and leave me dry We both already have been here before And my heart just refuses take anymore Its been broken by love and rebuilt by fear You say that you want me but you dont adhere Your words mean nothing only to your complacent Because love cant shine from a darkened basement A relationship means nothing if the works are dead Its just a habit formed without cause or effect I love you madly today I love you more But we have already been here so there's the door
Oh Jesse...we have all been and felt this...if we have once loved....Kathy

Hi, fjamesj9701, There is no need for us to add any complications... Your poem captures well the complicated nuances of a person's relationship falling apart, though still in love. Nicely penned.
Such impressive wordplay bro.."a bridge of twigs" ,"dreams with wings that wont fly", But the whole masterful poem itself...I so feel you on this one. Right there with you...Take care Jesse

And yes you have to say no more and move on.
But the funny thing about life is that you do heal, always scars but you do heal
And then out of the blue life gives you something magical to take its place
