The Void

I gave you my heart. I expected tender love and care, But when I asked it back from you, I knew it wasn't there. For it had fled to another; To someone that I don't even know. We used to be so close, But the distance started to grow. I knew that once I heard of him- Our spark would go away. Then I started to think that it wasn't there to stay. It simmered for a while- Your love had filled a hole. You and I both know; That shouldn’t have been our goal. Your heart is kept by vow, You’re as lonely as you can be. I tried to make you mine- But you aren’t the one for me.

Awwww...sad.. :( I can relate to this poem. I wrote a poem recently called Into the Void, but it is soooo different from your poem here. Haha. Anyway, great one and keep up the good work. Always, Laura

I find I am relating to way too many poems tonight. I guess it's a good and a bad thing, but this poem is nice. It hits too close to home but poetry should create a reaction in us, that's my opinion anyway. Nice poem.

Nicely written. Your poems seem to travel on the path of maturity. Way to go
