Alexis Y. Poet Quatrain

The End of the Road

You Own My Heart

Walking away from you was a hard decision
I wanted to spend my whole life with you
I neglected the signs I had tunnel vision
Our union turned toxic, I left to be whole


I still believe that I will meet my soulmate
You're a great guy and I still love you so
But we weren't destined to be, it was fate
I heard that you're doing well my love

Who knew that we would do better apart?
Sometimes I still feel like I can't breathe
Because no matter what, you own my heart
But I'm walking toward my healing a little at a time

Paloma P January 4, 2017 at 8:39 AM I can't figure out for the life of me if you're happily married or miserable. Or perhaps, it's merely poetry. :) Alexis Y. January 4, 2017 at 8:51 AM Hi Paloma, I like to write about matters of the heart( the good, the bad and the ugly). To me that's poetry. I appreciate your support: -) Alexis
