I want to tell you I'm sorry,
I asked God for direction.
We are the same you and I,
Our summer meeting was a hazardous timing.
No reason it can't be reversed to begin,
At the beginning again, it's almost the end.
So cruel we have suffered and blamed each other,
It's a pity that doesn't need a party just a chance to forgive one another.
In closing I will say,
We were trying to put our heads together,
To bring justice for another.
We were untrusting of life itself,
We didn't trust anyone, with good reason.
I made mistakes, so did you, we are human and it just wasn't our season.
Amen.
All the tape and bandages aren't going to mend this broken heart ~
When you abandoned me without goodbye you tore my world apart.

He broke her heart
Walked away and never looked back
Left her to her own devices
So she picked herself up
and made believe she could carry on.

My heart never heals
it lingers
from broken promises
broken dreams
my happiness went up and smoke
leaving loneliness
I put on a fake disguise
while searching
coping with deep agonizing pain
these emotional wounds
scratched open
watching lovers frolic in public
in time I hope to heal
move on
rebuild
till then
I seek to forgive myself
I woke up this morning
Wondering how the day would go
Thought too much about it
’til my mind broke
Pushed through, yeah
I pushed on, even though
My mind was broken
No where left to go
I forgot what they taught me
Yet remembered all the pain
Trying (my best) to keep good posture
Fighting off thoughts of disdain
You called me a loser
On me you place your blame
Fighting thoughts of finality
Loving you, the greatest shame
Silent dusk hides the sorrow,
Footsteps dissolve in the dark,
Windows frost from icy oaths
Heartbeats echo through the mist,
Memories shiver, trembling,
Hands reach for faded comfort,
My lover walks out the door.

In your company, beautiful
memories were made,
A love we once shared has
faded,
These words in your letter, I wish
I hadn’t read,
Just for a moment, my heart bled.
In a brief space, our world did spin
and love’s flame did soar,
But now time's cold breath says
no more,
Cherished moments on the road we
tread will be in the past,
Just for a moment, I wish the dye
hadn’t been cast.
Whispers of love buried deep,
In memory, they will now sleep
In my heart, a scar lies open
within,
Just for a moment, I thought,
True Love doesn’t always win.
Quote: True Love
True love
happens between two hearts
Flowing from season to season
Forming a strong bond that
bends
But once broken rarely ever
mends.

Eyes watering
with a tear coming out,
not understanding
what it’s all about.
A man’s hand
which had always been so kind,
now stretches and tugs
until there’s a strong bind.
It’s time to create
nourishment for man,
why should any
think this out of hand?
So many beautiful creatures
full of life and laughter,
corralled, tagged,
lined up to slaughter.
Your words from your mouth rolled in to whirlwind
And shot in my head the speed of a bullet
There they stayed causing havoc like an earthquake
Everyday they stirred
From one place to another
Causing me extreme pain
I can feel it in my head
So much pain
What is the cost of it ever leaving
Or will it stay in some corner of my brain
Forever I will never forget the hurt they caused.
Secondly I had loved a man much better
Than the first who had left me so bitter.
He was as much a genius, a pipefitter,
But eventually I fell out of love years later.
He was more dedicated to his work though,
To the point I felt out of his lifestyle's flow.
He made me feel lonely at home eventually,
So I tried to return to my first, unfortunately.
Then his controlling nature showed more,
But I was so codependent I could never soar.
Our love had slowly but surely dissipated,
As I began to lose belief in love being fated.
I know the way I left both had hurt them,
But to be fair I was addicted to their venom:
Their possessiveness, their need for control,
I tolerated it all to the point it took its toll.
Firstly I had an onesided love with a man
Who turned out to never have had a plan.
He played guitar, he always loved music,
But he never cared for my heart so lovesick.
This man once first loved me with a passion
Until he reverted back to his strict religion.
He expected me to change myself for him,
But I am a woman who follows every whim.
I loved him despite being held arm's length,
Because I bear understanding and strength.
Even though we were nice, I was not enough.
He never saw me as a diamond in the rough.
Rather than try to appease this hypocrite,
I decided one day to just let him have it:
The truth of how he made me feel conflicted
In my own mind over all things he defended.
The majestic train arrives~
It's strong, much stronger than I,
beautiful in its gleaming
reflections of the station's
night lights, perhaps it will share
its strength with me as I trust
it to rescue me at last.
I fell for you deeply into some sort of spell.
Sadly sometimes I end up feeling unwell
And all I wish is for you to be able to tell
How for you my heart will always swell.
I fell for the you you could potentially be,
Until I realized what I want is also in me
As you told me you couldn't be what I see,
But little do you know maybe we can be free.
I fell in love with how you made me smile,
It made me wish you'll stay a longer while,
But I know even true love's gone out of style
In modern age with everyone's own wile.
I fell in love with my idyllic perception of you.
Sadly turns out someone like me won't do
And I'm not sure if I'll ever break through
My state of limerence's every debut.
It's sad, I'll never be threaded into someone else's hem.
It's sad, I'll never have someone else write as I written for them.
It's sad, I'll never have love again without rotting from the stem.
My love I offered throughout this year was so often scorn.
My heart I bared sincerely was just as often forlorn.
My will to love anybody has become so wounded and worn.
