PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A mind of mist and shadow
A soul of empty shame
A heart as dark as the oceans deep
Will I ever be the same?

The end has been approaching
I saw it from afar
Its presence now so imminent
My heart left full of scars

I often ponder on the past
So sure I was of you
Practically perfect in every way
If only then I knew

Your smile brought me great happiness
Your eyes brought inspiration
Your lack of words have haunted me
Your ignorance spawned frustration

I used to boast an accomplished man
I used to have great pride
You crushed me and you beat me down
I have nothing left inside

Nothing left but a patchwork quilt
Made from sadness and pain
Stitched together with confusion
I’ve accepted all the blame

What now am I supposed to do?
How am I supposed to think?
You are not the same sweet girl I knew
My hearts been pushed to the brink

I tell you we are only friends
It pains me so to say
As long as the means justify the ends-
Long as you’re happier this way

My will is weak
My heart is broken
Sometimes I treat you wrong
But this is only channeled passion
I am not that strong

For I am no longer allowed to love you
