My Hearts Endless Limits

For me, love’s crown has fallen tarnished
and revealed its reign was falsely polished.
Fears bind many to all a broken love cost
and they stay heart fraught in its lost domain.
My heart refuses a stay no longer love enthused.
I will not bleakly habit dwell as marriage tooled.
Any love less than real seems a vow of deceit
that pails hearts in life's sad fades of incomplete.

I will not curtail my personality for matrimony’s 
sake when strong couple bonds no longer exist
or stay where love fantasies no longer thrive.
With my fear, I leave to seek real love’s lease
knowing my heart may bruise in painful repeats.
Some describe such breakups as scandalous
but with my love dreams beating ever vivid,
let all criticize my heart's endless limits.

Hi CayCay, congratulations my friend, this is a WOW poem and I hope it's fiction - if not then I wish for what you wish. A deep, heartfelt write about a love that is no more! Love and hugs, Jenny.

While I hope this is fictitious, I know that the content is probably based on past experience, CayCay. When things don't work out, it makes sense to move on...life is too short! ~ Regards // paul

We don't all find that perfect soulmate and some of us are unlucky in love! This reminded me of my conversation with my mother when i left my ex, i was battered and bruised and she felt i should have stayed...life's too short! This one really spoke to me! Hugs :).
