You and Me

Do you remember when we were kids 
The pledge we made together 
You and me against the world 
You and me forever 

And when we vowed to always be true 
To love, till death do us part 
When you placed the ring on my finger
To you, I gave my whole heart 

So how did it go from such happiness 
To a heart that constantly aches 
Tears running down my face every night 
Showing your greatest mistakes 

You were the meaning to my life 
You were my sun and my glory 
But you played around with our love 
And wrote the ending to our story 

They say that time will dry your tears 
Your broken heart will be freed 
That time will heal your wounds and scars 
So why do mine still bleed 

How did I not see it coming...I guess 
Some things I never will know  
When did your heart stop loving me
When did your heart let me go 

So with pen in hand, you sign your name 
But this time it set you free 
This time it’s left me alone 
And gone forever, is you and me 

Will I be able to move on from here 
When you're all that I ever knew 
Will I ever smile and be happy again 
When my everything always was you...

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 1/27/2024 9:03:00 AM Dear Raina, Wow, Your poem ripped through me. The melody of childhood vows, "You and me forever," echoing against the shattering reality of loss. The ring, the heart - their weight heavy in every tear that falls. Love turned to ashes, and betrayal. The raw questions hang heavy: "When did it stop? When did I lose you?" Time's promise of healing feels hollow against the rawness of your wounds. It's okay if they still bleed, Raina. The ache is testament to a love real and profound. Blessings,Daniel Login to Reply
