Closed Heart

What we had was special and very dear, You swept me off my feet in an instance. The possibility of love brought fear, It mattered not if it was fate or chance. Closed my heart from what you wanted to give, In time you left much quicker than you came. I missed you much, and it was hard to live, At that moment, my closed heart was lame. If I could go back, I'd give you my heart, You moved on, got married, made a new start. Alexis Y. 06-24-2021

SO SAD, THIS WAS A GREAT LOVE FROM BOTH SIDES, BUT YOU DIN'T SEE YOUR VALUABLE WORTH IN THE RELATIONSHIP. YOUR LOVE WAS TRUE, HIS NOT AS STRONG, SO HE MOVED ON. BEST YOU KNEW WHERE YOU STOOD WITH THIS GUY, AND SO YOU MOVED ON TO BRIGHTER DAYS, BUT YOUR BROKEN HEART TOOK TIME TO HEAL I'M SURE. GREAT WRITE ALEXIS. HUGS AND BLESSINGS MY FRIEND, JENNIFER

Well done Alexis. There is much sadness and regret in these lines but also perhaps something to learn too. Nice job. God Bless, JB

Sad, well penned with emotion though.

I like how you portrayed the emotions of infatuation. I can sense remorse and anguish in your verses, Alexis. I hope everything is okay with you, and this is simply a sham write-up.
