I wanted to run when you fractured my heart
And yet I stayed
clinging onto hope
Years went on
I slowly lost parts of me
you kept trying your hardest
But you couldn’t see
I wanted out
To save you
To save me
I couldn’t persist
I couldn’t reconcile
Sadness crept into my heart
Into my smile
Into every part of me
Yet you still looked at me lovingly
Then painfully
Gradually feelings die
Overwhelming sorrow
I pushed you away
Now alone
Apart
It’s over
Your fingers slip through mine
And You finally let go
This was what I wanted –
Was it not?
Didn’t want to see you anymore
But you and your beauty are all I see
Tears fall down my face
I let you go

Morning I wake, I ponder of you

Lost in thought, unsure of what to do

This ache in my chest, lingers uneasily

No questions asked of what it could be

Day moves on, still thinking of you

Afternoon sky, no shades of blue

Eternally musing over past happiness

Missing and yearning those moments of bliss

Night takes over, quiet it will always be

Without your voice sleep means nothing to me

As I lay awake with the acquainted ache in my chest

I ponder I wonder will nothing put it to rest?
Another old piece

All that is needed to be said is spoken clearly through your eyes

The light I yearn for shines no longer when you look at me

All that I once saw is now vacant in your expressions

Emotions that once ran rampant now gone

Hole in my heart slowly growing

My feelings ebbing away

Darkness creeping

Embracing me

All is gone

I know it in my heart our love to be true
For you are my everything, as I am to you

But sorrow takes us both when either of us leave
And all we can do is watch each other grieve

But you are my love the breath of my life
The one and only person that I want as my wife

So, know it in your heart, our love to be true
And just wait for me a little longer, just as I wait for you.

— The End —
