I Didn't Mean To Break Your Heart I wrote a poem of yesterday a part of me was dying. Love had come then left again and left me there just crying. So long it seemed my reaching out I hoped somehow you'd see. Remembered times I cried with you that you might cry with me. I guess I took it much too far I missed it from the start. The last thing that I wanted. I didn't mean to break your heart. Memories of former days when maybe love was new. Must have all come rushing back somehow crushing you. Relentlessly I told my tale about a love that went all wrong. Not seeing what it did to you as you followed along. Feeling somehow some release I let it all pour out. Opened wounds inside of you one more time filled with doubt. Through the times I lived and loved my world fell all apart. Words I write for healing me I didn't mean to break your heart.

You write such wonderful poems from deep in your heart Edwin. There can be such intense pain on both sides - its a good job we cant look into someone's heart and see the damage done when wounds are reopened :-( Great write:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx

Exactly! However I do believe sometimes it's the only way to allow light to get inside. It's like spring cleaning. Only not that simple :) God bless! XOXO

Impeccable rhythm and rhyme, Edwin. The message is even more noble - that of reaching out to someone who's been hurt. A 7. All the best! Kim :)
