Raise your hand if you’ve experienced this. Why do we do this to ourselves?
She loved until she lost herself
She gave until she was empty
She hung on until her fingers bled
And her hourglass was hungry
.
.
She was an inveterate long time lover
each chapter in her life
sewn together neatly between each love
.
.
Never knowing how to say goodbye
Never knowing when enough was enough
.
.
Letting go in such a mature and heartbreaking, but loving way. May we all aspire to handle those moments in life which bring upheavals our way.
I see you playing games
with my already frutstrated mind.
I can not help but wonder
if you are still the same guy
who made me believe in love
and that we’d build a wonderful life.
The song you used to play
to praise my eyes and smile
have suddenly vanished away
for I haven’t heard it in a while.
Well, I guess,
now the melodies have changed
and your words have lost their rhyme.
Your heart might pe the purest of all,
and your good deeds might be infinite.
But I think you aren’t aware;
breaking beautiful hearts can cost you
an irrecoverable loss for a lifetime.
Surprisingly,
I still don’t wish any ill for you,
for I’ve loved having you by my side.
Even though
my words may seem harsh sometimes,
I would never want you to feel lost
like a raindrop in an overcast sky.

Heartbreak my punishment, loneliness my reward.
Inspired by Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #41 – June 6, 2020
lethargic, depressed, tired
and by my side
you need me
to get you to functional
engaged, up, happy
and still not by my side
there is loneliness
with or without you
you’re just not there
for me…
Haven’t we all been here one time or maybe more? Even in heartbreak there is hope.
I.
I never felt
how broken
i was
Until
I saw
your foot prints
leaving me
in agony
in hurt
in pain
And in longing
Until then
You remain
my beautiful
poetry
II.
And if
you find
your way
back
I will be right
where you left me
In the shadow of
my life
with every
word i write
III.
Up and until then
I will love you
in the silence
of my heart
In every breath
I take
and
every word
i write
Until then I will wait, with love, with admiration and with a smile.
In response to the challenge “What do you see” by Sadjie
What do you see # 20- March 9, 2020
I read somewhere that if you leave someone at least tell them why, because what’s more painful than being abandoned; is knowing your not worth an explaination.
Whatever the situation of leaving maybe a…

every night
it’s bad
you take and take
leaving me raw
with regrets
you feast
on my emotions
you suck out
my essence
only for your sustenance
enough
i’m empty

And then watch what they do!
your words are lies, man
you destroyed the sacred trust
it’s over, it’s done

one glance
i was shaken
to my core
years together
i was safe
with you here
a bad decision
i was destroyed
without you near
missing your lips
i was ashamed
in my being
another glance
i was open
to try again
Every time I read this piece, I come away with another understanding. This writer’s tone and execution of the words is brilliant, IMO. Enjoy!
Look out the window at that ocean view. I’ll come to you in waves.
With your next appetite, Ill be exactly what you crave.
Look in the mirror and we’ll talk face-to-face.
Close your eyes. I’ll make a visit in your dreams.
Turn up the volume to your tunes, and Ill surround you in streams.
I will travel through the noise and underneath the silence by various means.
Ill be on your fingertips- the same ones you took away from me.
The fingertips that stopped touching me, pointed me to the door, and made me feel unworthy.
Yes, let me go but you won’t breath easy. I’ve already unpacked my being next to the things you promised me.
Wanted me to feel put out. Abandoned. Forgotten. Lonely.
But while you were preparing to disconnect from me…
I made a home in your memory.
Who
sorts out
the poet
giving a voice
to your unuttered
despair left in the wake?
I cannot run to you now.
We survived the end of our world,
unfortunately not each other.
Paths once united, just dust from our past.
