You never escape my thoughts. Every waking moment is spent with you on my mind. I'm plagued. Diseased.
My sickness? Love.
My cure? You.
Yet I reach for you, and feel naught but a shadow in your wake.
You've left. Gone. A pattern I'm all too familiar with.
I should hate you. Sometimes, I feel angry. Angry tears roll down my face. My fists clench.
I'm angry.
Angry I could never hate you. Yet, in your eyes, I see such hatred. You hate me. Despise me. If not for that profound anger, I'm sure i'd be a distant memory by now.
Forgotten. Erased. Gone. As easy as that.
You cut me. Broke me. Tore me into pieces. A jigsaw puzzle I cannot solve.
So how?
How can it be that something so broken could still love you so deeply?
You stole my heart.
But I no longer have yours.

WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for your first Poem ~ rippling with Love Angst. We've all been there and as you get older it happens more often ~ til you meet the ONE ! I'm single but in a positive relationship with ANGELA which is good ! Most MEN have a Mantra "Better to have loved & lost ~ than never to have Loved at all" but I think that is easier for Men to say than Ladies" Thinking of you ~ every Blessing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my poems ~ Thanks B.
I'm glad you're in a positive relationship! Not all people are so lucky unfortunately. I appreciate your mantra and it's very true, but it can be hard to see that when you're in the throes of heart ache.
I'll make sure to check out your poems. Thank you
