It Hurts

It hurts because I love you still
with all unregretable will
Time is just a passage way
to what I feel everyday

Your name your voice
the look you left
The beauty your memory
my heart bereft

Your way your charm
your graceful alarm
your scene your dream
the undenighable queen

The reason for my suffering
in deep regret
the longing for your presence
though nothing left

I place you on a pedistile
the goddess to which I cry
an invisible idol
for which God is denighed

All hopes and dreams
directed towards you
bringing you to my arms 
for my eternal use

Nothing else matters
in this world in which I live
nothing to replace that for which 
is the all that I would give

For all is reasonable
and no crime is cleft
selling my soul to the Devil
for the one that left



For Cynthia

A broken heart can heal in unexpected ways, just give it time... Meanwhile, this is quite an emotive and deeply moving write... Good work, with great rhythm and rhyme...

John, it's in God's hands. You will never get over love, but you will fall again. ~Anaya

There is no heartbreak that surpasses a broken heart of love lost. You have conveyed this extremely well in this poem John. To my knowledge there is only one way to help the pain and that is to move on and find someone else. I wish you much luck with that. Life is too short to mourn love for long. Blessings xxoo
