Heart Strings

As I slowly untie the string
That connects your heart with mine 
I reminisce about the story 
That once was you and I 
I remember on the good days
I remember all the bad
I remember being happy
And it made me really mad
For smiles were so fleeting 
Mostly tears is what I had

I realize that love
Is not a perfect thing
But I can’t believe that heartache
Is all you thought to bring
I know now that your love
Was really never there
For one-sided love
Never gets you anywhere

The circle is now broken
And I know I’ll be just fine
As I let go of the string
That once connected your heart with mine

K.TENNANT, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
