PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I must understand,

Let it come from you,

Let me understand,

That is all I ask,

You left, without words,

I asked no questions,

You answered none,

Though I am sure you know,

I was asking them in my heart,

I fight to forget you,

Yet at the same moment,

I do not wish to,

For I am alive in that memory,

I fought to hold on,

Though I did not feel you slipping away,

I did not take you for granted,

I knew then what I could lose,

How I could fall,

Though it did not seem possible,

As surely as I know now.

My life, dreams, love,

Fallen away,

Leaving only me, and a hollow,

dull ache,

That is my love for you,

As strong as before,

Only distant, as I attempt, in vain,

To push it away.

I want you, more than even you know,

Yet I cannot have you,

The story of my life,

And that thought kills me.

You came to me,

You loved me,

You promised me eternity,

From now to forever.

You tore me then, away from reality,

As you tear me now.

I wished only to live in the dream that was you,

Enthralled me, entranced me,

But you left me for another,

I did not see it coming,

Could not predict the departure of one so intent,

You drove me,

To be all that I could,

And still I strive to the image of perfection,

Only to fit the pleasure of your eyes,

Though you will never again see me,

That, of your own choice,

It is the idea of your perfect image,

That i long to be.

For then, only then,

Will I be what I wish: what YOU want.

You changed me,

Showed me a better way,

The only way......

To live: in anticipation.

I miss you.

You will never again love me,

And that is your right.

Only know this,

If I never speak with you again,

Never know the fufillments of my desires,

I will love you.
