Clearer Than Mud

In my heart is pain that can't be undone
No joy in life, no laughter no fun

Once two broken hearts came together to make one whole
Now just two separate hearts and one shattered soul

You filled my day with peace and light
Now my days are dim not bright

I had serenity with you that calmed the storm
A place that kept me safe and warm

I gave you my heart and you gave me yours
But shattered to pieces they're both on the floors

With no understanding of what went wrong
My feelings fit into poem and song

I loved you then and I do still
I didn't stop and I never will

My first love to whom I gave my all
I willingly fell into love's siren call

There is a saying I do believe
It means so much to me

"If you love something set it free,
if it comes back its meant to be."

I never wanted to let you go
With you gone its only hurt that I know

I don't really understand as to why
All I know is you're reasoning is partially a lie

So make me understand
as to why you aren't my man

Believe it or not this is something I literally just wrote about an hour or so ago and it only took me about 15 minutes. I just let my current situation and the emotions behind it out onto a peice of paper and then onto this site that a friend of mine showed me. Emotions are a great thing sometimes.

I know the pain & grinding curiosity behind your lines here. From what I've learned, not everything has an immediate reason. This was very well done.

Hello, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate. Actually I have a friend who is a fellow poet on here and he showed me the site. There isn't much to know about me. I am just a young woman who has had a tough life, trying to make it in the adult world, and currently going through a break-up with my first love. Lots of good poems to come from that though so it is all good:-)
