Love Recanted

The distance growing between us is cold I've already mourned you with out restrain my heart an out pour of disillusions now magnified through bitterness and rage. I thought I'd love you for the rest of my life now I can only pray this pain one day to subside. Lines have been crossed destroying everything I once believed to be sacred between us. Let me go quietly don't torment me through meaningless outcries. Just walk away don't say another hurtful thing Don't lend yourself to be the executioner waiting to cut the very thin thread thats kept me alive. One last thing I wish to tell you before I say goodbye when I said "I LOVE YOU" I truly meant it now those words left on my lips to die.

Hi Madelin, this is deep. Sometimes there's not enough emotions to describe the feelings you left on this page. The ending, kills what could be a moment of peace, after a heartbreak. The things that limit the words, (I love you) that should be adored, arent. In this case being his soul is a rock. Maybe you'll find your soulmate, once you realize it does not stop there... Hugs.. Linda
