Death By Love

Your blade is deep and has cut me beyond healing
I bleed and it is eternal 
I have no understanding and cannot move on
I loved you more than love itself and your all I ever dreamed of having
The first meeting is in mind engraved on stone
Your hair, your smile and your beautiful eyes
You were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen
Intelligent, open minded, free spirited, artistic and funny
All that I am was in you as an equal
In a brief meeting it all ended
No warning, no explanation and no closure
My heart came crashing down like the falls
Six years at an instant ending
Every hope, dream, want, need and feeling ripped from me and treated as if it never 
was
I am broken and it is because of you
I will never heal, nor love anyone as I loved you
Through the blackness that was around me you gave me light
You brought me happiness from so far but made me feel as if you were beside me 
always
I never shall speak of you and will deny all that I deeply feel
Everything has a meaning and happens for a reason
We were never meant to be and that is what slowly kills me
I will as always wonder why or what and close my eyes with no answer

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
