Lovers Lament
Since that day I walked away
You have lingered on my mind
I often wonder why I cannot say
The words to ease my mind
Our time is over that I know
And it’s time for moving on
I wish I had somewhere to go
Someone to lean upon
I look around for someone kind
To help forget the pain and troubles too
And the leave memories of you behind
So I can live my life anew
Will those memories ever fade?
And let me be apart from you
Or will they like a well-made blade
Cut my broken heart in two
I try and try and try once more
To shed the guilt weighing on my heart
Knowing it was me who tore
Into pieces both of our hearts
Now I am here forever more
And you have moved so far away
Never will I hear your voice once more
Whisper in my ear each day
The words that lovers often speak
Floating gentle on my mind
With every gentle kiss they speak
Words of love to fill my heart and mind.

About this poem:
Sitting alone I often think of people who have given up love so their partner could pursue their carrier. Or just let them go to move where their heart takes them. This is about those people who stayed behind and sacrificed their love so someone else could be happy.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
