Why

Purdy61

A steady stream of meaningful words

Flowing from a broken heart

A steady stream of salty tears

Falling relentlessly an ache apart.

As each new day dawns a new start a new day

As the sun chases the sky.

I drag my body from the bed

All my strength not to cry.

You let me love you

And then you let me go.

You let me fall, hard

How was I to know.

Every word said to me

No more than a lie

Every kiss every moment

A cruel disguise.

Plans never meant to be

Moments never to be shared

Empty kisses, empty caresses

You never really cared.

I believed you, I loved you

I’m left with such doubt

Will I ever really know

What ‘we’ were about?

    I see a lost love here, but I also see some poetic ability. "Falling relentlessly an ache apart." I thought this was a brilliant line and it grabbed me .Thus I enjoyed your sad poem of misplaced love and hope to read more from you. - Phil A.

  • dusk arising

    Love IS love and when it falls apart it doesn't mean that there was never love present or that everything which was said is lies..... thats an immature way to deal with life. Face up to it, most love affairs go wrong.... only a few last a lifetime.... we have to have failures before we achieve success. Do not devalue the love you have experienced by saying it was all lies or you will never be able to trust in love again.... just accept that it didn't work out this time.

    WELCOME PURDY : Thanks for your first Poem ! A very elegant 24 lines replete with Rhythm and Rhyme in every other line : beautiful ! BUT a very sad experience ! I have had experiences similar to yours. My MANTRA is "Better to have Loved & Lost than never to have Loved at all !" I learned something from my Failed Relationships but more from my sweet ones. Men can be very fickle in Love Affairs as your POEM SAYS ! "You let me LOVE you : And then you let me go : You let me fall hard !" Ive had experiences like that : but I have recovered and it made me stronger in later liaisons.
    I am a Professional PHYSIOTHERAPIST and that can be a barrier in finding a Partrner : BRIAN is also a SCIENTIST (and a Lover of things Spanish : My PAPA is Spanish) so we had lots in common which has led to Pure Love : AMEN !
    Blessings for the Future : You will find this a very empathetic and suportive site :
    Yours ANGELA 🧡
