Alone in Darkness

I have loved and lost before, but never felt like I do now after losing you. It feels like I’m moving in slow motion while everything races by me. Others don’t see my pain and go on like nothing has happened while I am stuck here wondering why you no longer love me. A.F.

Alone in the darkness,
Pain, sorrow and despair
Mourning a trust born of spirit
I can’t now repair

Searing pain so deeply
now carried deep within my heart
Betrayal done blatantly
yet hidden from the start.
From “Never Again” by Elle.rose7

By the Water’s Edge

I’m so sorry I screwed things up. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there for you. I’m so sorry I broke your heart. I’m so sorry I left you. I’m so sorry I had to make the worst mistake of my life with you. I wish it had never happened. D.S.

Sitting by the waters edge
I now stare at a reflection
of a broken man.
A heart forever filled
with my love for you.
I cry lonesome tears
with a mind battered
and bruised by losing you.
Every day has become
so hard to bear, as I
search inside
for a reason to smile.

All My Secrets

I wish I could tell you things like I use to. You were the one I told all my secrets to. You were the one that I constantly wanted to be with. I wish you hadn’t left. I wish you hadn’t hurt me. I wish you were still my best friend. I miss you. V.H.

Sometimes I wish
I were a little kid again,
skinned knees are easier
to fix than broken hearts.

I’m Not Supposed To…

I wish I could get you out of my head. If I could do that, maybe I can start to get you out of my heart. I imagine everything being good again between us, but I know you have moved on.  I am just a part of the past. R.Y.

I’m not supposed to love you.
I’m not supposed to care.
I’m not supposed to live
My life wishing you were there.
I’m not supposed to wonder
Where you are or what you do.
I’m sorry I can’t help myself,
I’m in love with you.
