Understanding

Many people don’t understand What they have in a true woman or man We are there to help you get through Because that is what we do We can lift you up when you’re down We can always reverse that silly frown All you have to see is simply this When we are gone, you will truly miss Where do I get my joy from When everything hurts so bad Where do I get my smile from Where people around me make me sad But when I look into those eyes of yours It sends my pressure to a soar The only thing I have that is true Is the one I have known as you You may not think what I may think You may not feel what I feel But what I’m trying to say to you Is that there is no one that can do what you do You see a light shines and brightens a room But when you appear, all I hear is a boom Because the power that you contain I have put all that I have Into what I thought was oh so grand I saw a beauty I couldn’t resist Thought I found my eternal bliss But my heart you simply did break apart With me not seeing it from the start But now I’m here to let you know My love for you, I have let go Where do I get my joy from When everything hurts so bad Where do I get my smile from When people around me make me sad But when I look into those eyes of yours It sends my pressure to a soar There is one more thing that’s true I no longer love you

How sad you have lost someone who "brightens a room" just be walking inside. It sounds, though, that she did not appreciate your sensitivity. Writing is a good way to "erase all of the pain." I hope you found some comfort in expressing your thoughts. It's a beautiful poem, coming from a true hearted man. I admire that. Thanks for sharing this.
