I Once Knew Her

Folder: 
Loss

I once knew
her,

My soul had
found

The way home
to me.

She was the
meaning,

For my
universe.

 

She
completed me,

And I
completed her.

Our lives
finally found

What they
had been searching for.

Finally able
to rest.

 

Staying up
late

To talk
every night.

Never
running out

Of Love to
give.

Bliss is
what we had.

 

Life has a
way

Of ruining
plans.

Even the
most precious stones

Have flaws
to be found.

That’s all
it takes.

 

Down we
fell,

Into dark
and despair.

How could
something so perfect,

Fall apart
so badly.

And cause so
much pain.

 

Nothing that
lasts comes easy,

Nothing that
is meant to be

Isn’t worth
fighting for.

But fighting

Is all we
did.

 

And now I’m
left,

Wanting my
soul to come back.

Lost in this
life,

Walking a
crumbled path.

Shackled to
my loneliness.

 

So I try and
I try,

To let go
and move on.

But
something holds on,

Not letting
me get too far.

Keeping the
void open.

 

I gave away
my heart,

To make it
whole.

I gave away
my love

So I may
know what it is

To be loved.

 

In pieces my
heart returned,

Never to be
whole again.

For I no
longer own all the pieces.

Scars this
deep never heal.

Forever a
reminder.

 

On I must
travel.

Remembering
what was,

Dreaming of
what could be,

Waiting…

For my soul
to come home.
