Broken Heart

** My 2nd poem ever, gonna take me quite quite some time, in comparison to the many great poets here. I'm a newbie and a beginner ** Broken Heart The pain was real only time could heal took away my breath assumed it was death So wanted you back wanted you in my life thought you would be my wife but I was young, I was naive it was only a process to grieve I saw you with him it was time to move on but it didn't feel right but then I saw the light It was time to move on and I did just that work, family and friends but no more girlfriends This was my time, a little down time work daytime and play til bed time no longer a care in the world No more girlfriends and no more pain No more trying, nothing to gain But then there she was when I wasn't even looking Eyes met across the room Smiles were in full bloom I've heard of love at first sight I felt it there that very night pain went away, no more grey no drugs but high as a kite Forgot what's her name cause I burned with a new flame I was in love, not a game I had hoped she felt the same Here we are, twenty five years later still in love, but keep in mind 'Love is patient, love is kind it does not envy, does not boast It is not proud', I do not boast The love is real, nothing to heal She took away my breath Will stay with her, all the days of my life She's my life, my wife til death do us part, and then the after life -James R.
