You said you will stick with me through thick & thin
You said you will be my strength when I am weak
A shoulder to cry on, my rock, my sun, my rain, my world, my all
You promise me respect, honesty, companionship, friendship
Did I get it, no
I was a fool for you
Instead of giving you took
You took it all from me
Now I am empty, hurt, sad
Fill with pain, confusion, rage
You took everything
left me bare, confuse & alone
Where do I go from here
Do I fight,
Do I give up
What do I do
I am praying for a miracle
A miracle that will heal and mend my broken heart
My broken soul
A miracle that will give me strength to breathe to let go
To move on
To be strong
To stand on my own
A miracle that will eradicate you from my mind
I am waiting patiently for that miracle that will heal my broken soul
Patiently waiting,
miracle where are you

About this poem:
Just trying to express my feelings, to let go off the pain I am feeling
Post Comment
Frustration fills my soul,
As I search for something whole,
Something missing, something true,
Something that I only find in you.
But you are far away,
Living your life day by day,
And though I try to go on,
My heart can't help but feel forlorn.
My soul is out there living,
But it's not the same without you giving,
Your love, your touch, your tender care,
To help me through life's struggles and despair.
I long to feel your presence near,
To know that you are always here,
But instead I'm left with emptiness,
A feeling that I cannot suppress.
So I'll continue to search and seek,
For the love that I so desperately seek,
Hoping one day you'll be by my side,
And we can face the world, side by side.

In the small half-light
where shadows fall
I saw you walking
ever tall
ever unsure
whether to come home
from the fields
where you do roam
Why do you wait
incessantly
to fix a date
where we will see
your presence here
is what we miss
so lonely times
I can dismiss

purple light on the horizon
the days decay is evident
folding away like a passing storm
I'm growing older in the sun chair
tiny cold green bottles
the pleasure of lager leisure
when you're totally alone
the air breathes fresh
this light light air
surrendered to fortune
and when the stars come out
I'll drink another one for Kate
one for Julie
one for the dog long gone
one to show you never buckle
as damp as it gets
until the livings gone

I do not know what to do
except for loving you
but it seems like all my words
are not coming through
I am so alone
in my heart and bone
because you always keep me
in that friendly zone
you do not want to love me
you do not want to kiss
what does it take for you to see me
and that I am someone you should miss!?

Kindred spirits can’t remain apart.
All the land and seas cannot divide.
Remnants of our former we still are.
Rarest gems must not be cast aside.
Our fate is written in the stars.
Love I’ve felt for you I cannot hide.
Lovely you, your skin your eyes and hair.
Everything for you I’d do I swear.
Vast, deep, through to marrow, bone,
Years pass my love you’ve always known.
I will,
Love you until,
One day past eternity,
Verse and chapter, through adversity and
Every day after.
U!

spending time with people you dont like
doing things that just dont feel right
when you cant resist all you best
a burning quest nun the less
a look iside comform to hide
a moment in time too bright moment subside
return unwind eternal shine mind
never behind the shadow hold wide
the legacy of lifes ride

THE PAIN & HURT SOMETIMES SURFACE TO YOUR EYES.
THE FACT THAT YOU SUFFER ALONE, IT SHAKES ME TO CORE.
IT HURTS ME TO SEE YOUR PAIN.
THE WAY YOU BOTTLE IT UP, IM SCARED YOU WILL FALL ILL.
WHY ARE YOU THE KEEPER OF SECRETS & PAIN?
YOUR REPLY OF IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, ITS NOTHING WITH A STORY LOOMING IN YOUR EYES.
AS MY MISTED EYES & WOUNDED HEART SEARCH FOR A WAY TO SEE A SMILE GRACE YOUR FACE.
YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS & PUSH ME AWAY.
I FEEL DEFEATED & CHEATED AS YOU CHOOSE PAIN INSTEAD OF LOVE.

HEARTACHE & LOVE FROM PAST PRESENT & BEYOND. MY LOVE FOR YOU IS FOREVER

I just plain don't like you
I don't share your point of view
You annoy me incessantly
Don't think I'm obligated to respond to you so pleasantly
I am independent now and don't need to kow tow
I don't want your sniveling
whimpers or mood swings
that doesn't make my heart sing
It just makes you more of a fool
and you just don't know the rule
I am woman, I need not have to explain my ways
You are man you are to just accept me and if you want to play
Man always pays
What's mine is mine and who I give is my choice and I don't listen to every voice
Yes, I may have what the boys want
yet, I can train my dog or another girl to give me a twirl
What hurts so much is there was a time I gave you my all and everything I am was yours to heed to your call
Yet, you betrayed my love for another you slipped on like a glove
Now here I sit in world of fools
feeling I'm drowning in a pool
Pretending I will find someone better
who may follow my rule to the letter
Yet, every night I still sleep cold and alone and my heart is but, a stone
They claim if given a try there is a possible new chance at love to wipe away the hidden tear in my eye
So, far I haven't seen much but, your clever lies
So, I have learned to play the same game
Yet, I'm finding nobody wins as we all watch the arrow spin
Waiting and wondering who or where it will stop to show a way in
So, I am content to just be and not wallow in pity or lament
I am empowered to love myself and not be a man's trophy sitting on a shelf
I have my ways and my faults and if you can't accept me as I am how can you expect me to love you oh foolish man?
You never realize how good you have it until it's gone
Though both sides suffer over what went wrong
Maybe after we all grow up we will find a moment to love again
Hopefully we will learn from our mistakes before we meet our end

About this poem:
Just a silly Idea from what women may think about men and maybe it's all wrong and welcome any advice or thoughts to be corrected.

Today is the last day I write to you,
for you have never replied, my heart
has died, and all that I was is lost
and gone,
My love, my darling, I cannot stay
I cannot live another day,
don't be sad if I'm not here, I cannot
shed another tear.
