Jovarrus Stegall Poet Light Verse

I Failed Her...

I loved her from the start, 

 so I thought 'til death do us part. 

 But little did I know that she had other plans. 

 Plans that my heart couldn't withstand. 

 Those words that tortured my soul, 

 and caused my heart to have a emtpy hole. 

 "I think we should take some time off", is what she said. 

 Now I sleep uncomfortably as I lay down in my bed. 

 It's been awhile now, and I haven't heard from you. 

 Is it that you feel my spirit too ? 

 Am I causing you to cry so that the tears will make everything become a blur ? 

 And that question made me realize that I failed her...
