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
