Notes About The Poem

 

Love isn't always a blessing

Once Lovers Now Strangers Of The Heart

Have you ever loved someone so deeply 
And so completely
That you forget about yourself
Your world revolves around them
And can't think of anything else 
Do you think they're the only one
Who understands you like no one ever could
Have a  special kind of love that only you know
In your heart, soul body and in your blood
Did you ever give so much
But feel it was still not good enough
And when things get bad you lose that loving touch
Why does love hurt so bad when it shouldn't hurt at all 
Suddenly you find yourself aboard  a sinking ship
And feel pushed to the edge, and about to fall
When your love was built by faith trust and friendship
Is now meaningless and you wonder if they lied
It's such a bitter pill to take
When you realise you were never loved at all although you tried
Communication breakdown pushes you both further away
Becoming strangers of the heart
And the home you built together
Is now an empty place and rips your heart apart.

This is a well written and reflective read Pete. It will resonate with many. The line, ‘ Why does love hurt so bad when it shouldn’t hurt at all’ especially stood out to me. A poignant verse. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you for better health.

I'm so sorry it happened to you too. I lived with someone for a while years ago. I'm not saying I'm anything special But I had a girlfriend who was besotted with me. But I wasn't with her. We travelled to some great places and had some really good times. But she lied to me too many times.when drunk. It was hard to let go.but what was the point?. Strange, I didn't love her so, much.as she did me, but I still care for her, like all my girlfriends. I worry she's not still around, and have been thinking lately is she alright. Thank you.Take care Pete. :

So true my friend. It takes two, like the song. Terrible when kids are involved, or money problems get in the way. To me, having a strong friendship as a foundation is a Very oood place to start, like another song. Thank you so much, take care, Pete.

Hmmm. Breakups are often difficult. The "what ifs", "if onlys", and shoulda-coulda-wouldas, are not helpful. If you gave your best, you did good. :)

Hi Peter, Enjoyed this poem of love lost. Yes, I personally have experienced similar deep betrayals of the heart and at the same time betrayal of systems designed to protect. It's a lot to overcome and I hope you seek out counseling if this is based on an actual current experience for you.

Hi Nancy. You're so sweet. I have been through similar things, but I have bigger problems now with my health. It does take two for a relationship to work and really mean it. Forgiveness,give and take mostly take. Sorry to hear of your experience thank you so much. Take care, and thanks for the advice.Pete.
