After four years of marriage
I cannot remember my life before
You turned my life around
Showed me life was so much more
Now every memory is of us
Every thought is about you
In everything that I partake
It's a reminder of you
You loved me when I was down
But I never made it to my feet
I was pulling you with me
With my anger and deceit
As you walked away I saw
That you had tears in your eyes
I know it wasn't easy for you
And I had had a million tries
You won't answer your phone
You refuse to talk to me anymore
That hurts my already broken heart
That shattered here on the floor
I wouldn't change a thing
About all our good times at least
But I'd change every argument
And I never would be that beast
You don't know how I feel; you don't know what I've seen.
All I know is I have a dream,
A dream I lost you and can't bring you back.
To your heart is where my love is at.
So I ask myself every night and day,
Does she love me? I don't know what to say.
All I know is I'm hurting inside,
Trying to win this thing called pride.
Fighting off every aspect to make myself look shameful.
Please come take away this hurt; take it away, it's too painful.
So pray for me and keep my thoughts near.
This is the end, so lend me an ear!
The river of love is dry, heart is dead,
music sepulchral, both had wept and said,
the door is locked and silence reigns within,
the battle is lost, nothing here to win.
tears no longer flow, and no reason to,
the birds fly past in silence as they go,
garden is desolate, roses have dried,
no remorse that the bond has been untied,
who can solve the riddle of broken heart,
where deep love and trust had once played a part,
the fading glimmer of setting evening,
darkness fills where once was new beginning.
No hope or wish to reorder days past,
the field has been scorched black and all is lost,
I walk in slow steps to life on my own,
memories live on, but I shall not mourn.
The keys are cold, the notes so sad,
To pipe love that never bloomed
A minor key sighs, moans and weeps,
To recall a promise made
The ivory keys hum a dirge ,
A broken song of its sown.
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.

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.
You’ve been carrying so much suffering inside
Ever since you were a little boy
All these feelings you’ve learned to hide
The thought of intimacy turns you coy
I will never give up on you
For you need my love the most
When it becomes unfamiliar to feel safe
When the storms of chaos feel like home
When the idea of romance makes you chafe
Aimlessly, your heart will infinitely roam
I will never give up on you
For you need my love the most
Is there a cure for your pain?
Will you keep pushing me away?
Will you love me or further abstain?
I can tell you that I want to stay
I will never give up on you
For you need my love the most
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.
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.
I was always once what they all of a sudden had once desired
But even I had always failed to make them feel inspired.
I always learned how and just when to let go when love expired.
Why did it always feel so devastating
As each new flame I was tenderly holding
Faded away before my heart blackening
From smoke and mirrors, while suffocating.
I suffered double the heartbreaks
For the way I left those two behind.
I also suffered so long for their sakes,
So I wouldn't be alone with my mind.
I suffered double all of the pain
That I caused for everyone I know.
I also suffered so much for their own gain,
So I learned we all reap what we all sow.
I suffered double the regret
For the mistakes I made in vain.
I also suffered so many years of shame,
So now all I want is to be me again.
I suffered double the solitary time,
For all the time I wasted waiting for others.
I also suffered from losing loves so sublime,
So now I am choosing one from many lovers.
This heartache has been so sad,
You once made me feel so glad,
Yet now it hurts more than a tad,
How you left me to go slowly mad.
hello my little drop
come to paint my cheek damp -
to etch your dour rill there
and reflect her smile …
yet, you are only one
while the heavens weep wild …
let it rain … and be gone!
