Bitter
#7 of Poetry
A little something sad, since I hadn't written anything like this in a while
Aged Yet tender
Are the thoughts
My arms
Around you As I whisper
To you
My true feelings
For you
My one
And only
Love
The one
Who I yearn
To have
The one I wish To be with
Until My life
Begins to fade
The days We spent Together
So warm
And loving I could never forget
The laughs
We shared So filling
The way You spoke So soothing
The weeks We'd be together A dream
But As with all Good things
An end Came to my Wishful thoughts
The day When it all Changed
You spoke
Of another,
One
Who had Stolen your heart
And swept off your feet
A man of class
And wealth With a desire
To make you His own Until his time
Comes
To an end By your side
Shapeless emotions
Welled up
In the deepest parts
Of My inner self; A rift
In the thoughts
That kept me Moving ahead
Devoid Now lies
My mind
I lost
The one Who I cherished
For The words I could not speak
Hanging
On the end
Of my tongue
Were spoken By another One who
You would Love back; Your missing half
Fated, Was I, To never be
By your side Though I cannot accept it
My mind Sobs As it shatters
Tears Of crimson life
It cries
All of what
I wished to be Will never become
No I am wrong My Love
Will be happy And To stand
Between them Would be selfish
Beyond words
I smile, Nod, And move on
I cannot show What lies Within
I do not Wish to burden The one whom I love still
And so Things Took their course
Days drifted Weeks slipped by And months trickled through
The gaps In my mind: Broken
Time Did not heal These wounds
Though The pain Numbed
As I distanced
Myself From you
Work Filled my days As my grip
Slowly began To tighten Once more
As of today Two years Have passed
Thoughts of you Still linger Warm to the touch
For the first time In a what seems Like ages
I saw you As you glance over
And smile at me
Oh How I loath To leave your presence
So tender And warm: Unwavering
Though This pain Will never depart
Biting As the Winter's winds; Bitter
