Invisible Chains

Longing for arms that once held me tight Longing to make love to you - it once felt so right Longing for something…I’m not quite sure All I know is when you held me I felt so secure I wish I could close my eyes - start this life over Wake up in a new time and place And start each day Smiling back at your beautiful face It’s your laughter I miss, your sweet gentle kiss… Still I need to remember That day in September When you said you never loved me Said you set my heart free I think you will agree… That the love that we shared Was but one sided The love I felt for you Was sadly misguided I fooled myself, I wasn’t that smart Thought I could be the one To unlock your heart I thought I was living my dream Didn’t know I was living a lie A lie I was too blinded to see Until you said goodbye Loving you was all that mattered Now I’m left to pick up the pieces of my heart… Now broken and battered The time has come to close this chapter I’m no longer your slave You are no longer my captor For you didn’t know what you had I would have gone to the ends of the earth for you Would have loved you forever So yes it is time Time to break these invisible chains Of a love That was felt only by me These invisible chains Of a love that was never meant to be

I relate to this great but so sad write. Love does make you blind, We tend to overlook the warning signs. A very. well written and expressed poem. I'm so sorry this happened. been there a few times. Hope you find what your looking for. take care. Best wishes Pete.

Thank you so much Pete. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem. It was written months ago when the pain was still fresh but I now look at the breakup as a gift. :-)

Been there...bought the t-shirt...and pants. Thankfully, I broke those chains. I had to. Life was just too short to be held down. An excellently declared bit of writing. Nice to meet you, Jennifer! :)
