Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Unhappily Ever After

I have loved you since I was young.
You were it for me and I didn't crave
another.
I was on cloud nine that you were my
lover.
But as the years went by you grew
distant.
You didn't look at me the same,
You didn't touch me the same,
You didn't hold me the same,

When you said you didn't want to be 
with me any longer,
It was like someone punched me in
the stomach real hard.

I thought we would be together forever.
You were my fairytale my happily ever after.
I loved you with my entire being……..
But for some reason that wasn't enough,
Because you still left me……..

Gershon Wolf September 10, 2019 at 1:01 AM So often in life it's 'unhappily ever after,' ala your title, at least for a while---untll it turns out to have been 'all for the best.' G.L. in the contest, Alexis. ~ Gershon

Chris Green September 9, 2019 at 12:34 PM Such a sad poem my friend and hopefully it was only written for the contest and is purely fictional, though the emotions hot so hard that makes me think it might be more fact. Best wishes Alexis
