PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

By the breaks and tatters, I have done all this in jest

Another lover scatters, as she would with all the rest 

Is it better to have loved you than never to have met 

Better yes, but not quite best, as I will soon regret 

I could have spoke more softly, than I chose to do that day

Alas, it would not have been honest, if I bit my tongue to pray

For strength, for peace and all I need to keep the wreck afloat

If I had been less truthful we might still share the same boat

Anyways it's done now, your off and I'm just here

Going through the motions, staving off the fear

That I indeed will end alone, with no one stood beside

As I count out my last moments, full of bitterness and pride

Perhaps I'll find salvation, someone to get me through 

If I can only give to them, that I never gave to you

Maybe then I'll be content and feel the soul awaken 

Maybe then I might feel that I have given more than taken
