Stolen Promise

I have been within touching distance, you nearly stole my heart,
but there was always something that got in the way, 
and started pulling us apart.
Too many broken promises of a future I could never see,
all I wanted was to love someone and for someone to truley love me.

Did I hold you far too tightly?
did I make you walk away?
always into the arms of another
there was nothing I could say.

A piece of me was torn away each time that we parted,
I had to shut you out to numb the pain that left me broken hearted
Have I become too frozen? I dont let no-one in,
I know I am scarred and broken, but have I let sadness win?

I still remember the joy I felt when I let love enter my heart,
if I could hold onto that feeling, it might be a very good start,
I know I want to love again and share this love I feel,
with a little love and patience, my heart can begin to heal.

It s a really beautiful and heartfelt write,always remember that we only get what is written in our destinations, neither he s the one to blame, nor was it yours fault, but it was God who has written this story as incomplete, heart takes time to heal but eventually it heals and only a memory is left behind, the past is dead, wjat s gone is gone but future can be bright, so look for future, a really nice poem and good luck
