David Brown Poet Rhyme

A New Time

The memories are still quite vivid
Of the only love that was worth living.
The time has gone for us I know
It eases not at all the sorrow.

For now she goes to anothers arms
To give to him all her charms
I feel the sadness deep within
It fills my heart to the brim

I also feel that jealous rage
To see her now so disengaged
From me after all we shared
The lies she told of how she cared

She left my heart in tattered pieces
She left my tongue completely speechless
She left my mind numbed and addled
She left me with a burden straddled

I shall not her destroy me
I am more than he can be.
If another way she chose
This chapter of my life does close.

Another chapter opens anew
Another challenge, another clue
Of what for me the future holds
I look forward to it strong and bold.

I will face it head on and brave
Looking not back always ahead.
I ask you come along with me
I will be ok! You will see!
