Finally today

Nine days after

For the first time

I didn’t START crying



I took out your photograph

From the velvet lined case

And on my be half

It didn’t stain my face



But the more I thought

The more it hurt

The more it hurt

The more I fought



The memories built

As well as the fear

Then there was guilt

Of all of my fears



“Was I the one

Who caused the pain

Was it truly I

Who commit



All that time

Was I the one

Who pushed you away

And now sadly won?”



Thinking of these

Again I cried

Because even with my please

His feelings for me died



Each time I look

At the picture and ring

My heart’s again took

For another emotional swing



I’ll cry and cry

And yet try not to

But from that I can’t shy

As old feelings renew



I wish I could let go

So I could stop the crying

I hate to let it show

But the pain is un-denying



Why can’t I forget

The memories hurt

And I’ve been so upset

Because of my mind’s revert



“You get what you give”

Did I cause him this pain

If so I hope he could forgive

That I caused him this such strain



Now I know how it feels

When I broke a heart

And for all these ordeals

My heart is tearing apart
