Heartache
Heartache wasn't in the pamphlet. I didn't know love could be so dark.
This crushing weight that has resulted, of my unguarded heart ripped apart.
I brushed off warnings to be careful, their words didn't ring of truth.
I never knew that such despair could come from loving someone as good as you.
I am no victim, I played my part in this disaster.
Holding broken pieces of my heart chasing that love ever after.
Even still thru this pain, my love burns so strong.
I see cupid out the corner of my eye, love notes hidden in each song.
So I push on, this void threatening mutual destruction.
See I'm still grateful for your love because before there was nothing.
If we never mend this bond, if I've held you for the last time.
Just know you gave me life and hope, you will always own this heart of mine.
About this poem
I wrote this for a woman I am madly in love with still. We still talk but this is my reality. I write to work thru it.
