From A to B is Destructive

Isn't it amazing how,
Even though your smile's out and about-

There's no one stopping to look at you,
Like everything you've done came too soon?

You pour out your heart with paper and pen,
But they've got the ideals of a child.

We all look for love every now and then,
And fall hard once in awhile.

But while I'm smiling at you, you're smiling at him.
And when I'm kissing you... you're thinking of him.

I could write a million songs with you for the topic...
Just for you to tell me... that's not it-

That's not what you want, that's not what you need.
You said you loved me... so I set you free.

Fly free,pretty dove... I'll miss you.

But even with our love so estranged,
Like a broken fret on a guitar...

There's no love here left to claim,
There's no air on mars.

Thanks again to the both of you :)
It's been hard for me to part with these poems, no one has ever seen or heard them. So I thank you for the support!

Messy breakups, even ones that go "well" with the person you can never forget and you read a poem so beautifully written that touches on your pain and you understand that the person who wrote it has to be gifted. amazing write :)

HelloGoodbye
Thank you very much Lorri.
What you just said is exactly the reason I write.
I want to touch hearts and let people know... that they aren't the only one's going through it all.
And that you don't have to do it alone.
It's not exactly feel good music, but, it's something people can relate too.
