Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Follow you in my mind it’s true
Concentration makes me blue
Always am I chained to regret
The loss of your beauty
An uncertain depth
I play in my mind a doll of you
Hug and squeeze like little girls do
And when I can see the unbleard world
The loss I incurred is echoed and heard
My stillness does wrath unseen
My dream a nightmare I moan and scream 
My heart beats I feel in each a death
Like waking to find myself unblessed
Living the definition of obsessed
Seeking a way to revive this death
Gone, gone, gone says time
The never again has committed it’s crime
Emotion does torture the willing mind
What I do to myself is so unkind

It is filled with emotion of turmoil of love of pain of regret. I like the second last line as we are hard on ourselves for how we feel. love phyl

I love the line, "the never again has committed its crime." Love, loose, regret, forget. Rinse and repeat until the cycle gets broken.

Missing a loved one is a painful experience. Your words full of love are beautifully somber. Love never dies and the one who loved YOU would not want you to suffer. Hugs

"Emotion does torture the willing mind. What I do to myself is so unkind." Many people suffer from this statement, TS. We are our own worst enemy. We sometimes do to ourselves what we'd never imagine doing to another person. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your poetry, my friend. Bill

Those last two lines and ur rhymes are brilliant and so true its hard breaking up with someone or even habit, it takes alot of strength to let go, i felt this one! Acceptance is the way to move on, som things are just not meant to be. Well said

Hey there, The Situation. I really liked this poem. With each line that I read, my imagination creates an image or scenario. This is a beautiful poem, and it's painful too.
