Madelin Barton Poet Free verse

Love Recanted

The distance growing 
between us is cold
I've already mourned 
you with out restrain
my heart an out pour 
of disillusions now
magnified through 
bitterness and rage.

I thought I'd love you
for the rest of my life 
now I can only pray this 
pain one day to subside.

Lines have been crossed 
destroying everything I
once believed to be sacred 
between us.

Let me go quietly don't 
torment me through
meaningless outcries. 

Just walk away don't say 
another hurtful thing
Don't lend yourself to be 
the executioner waiting to 
cut the very thin thread thats
kept me alive.

One last thing I wish to tell you
 before I say goodbye
when I said "I LOVE YOU" I truly 
meant it now those words left on 
my lips to die.

Poet Destroyer A June 8, 2014 at 10:53 AM Hi Madelin, this is deep. Sometimes there's not enough emotions to describe the feelings you left on this page. The ending, kills what could be a moment of peace, after a heartbreak. The things that limit the words, (I love you) that should be adored, arent. In this case being his soul is a rock. Maybe you'll find your soulmate, once you realize it does not stop there... Hugs..
