My Misery and My Redemption

There have been times I couldn’t imagine bearing another day of heartbreak living without you, but somehow I did. Moments have come when the weight of grief almost crushed me, but I survived. My love for you is both my misery and my redemption. B.G.

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

Slipped Through My Fingers

How long does heartbreak last? I let the love of my life slip through my fingers. It’s been two years since I broke up you, the woman I loved dearly. I thought things might be better with my Ex., but I was so wrong.  You’ve moved on and don’t trust or want me anymore. D.G.

Have you seen my smile
because the last time I wore it
was when I was with you.

What Can I Do?

Calling at 2am to say I still love you was a mistake. Truly sorry I bothered you. I’d had a few drinks and my guard was down because our anniversary was earlier this week. It’s been months and neither of us has moved on. Is there a message in that for us? D.S.

You were my everything;
Now you’re gone.
I don’t have the strength
To carry on.
I loved you so much;
You were all I had;
Now my whole world
Is depressing and sad.
I’d like to start feeling
Other than blue,
But you were my everything,
What can I do?

What Have We Done?!?!

Saying goodbye to you is the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. It took both of us to damage our love beyond repair. You’ve been in my life for so long it feels like a  big piece of me is gone; one I can’t live without. I miss you so much. What have we done?! J.R.

I sit here in this place
So far from where I used to be.
Wondering, what happened?
How did this happen to me?
Remembering the days
Of times gone by.
I promised I wouldn’t do this
I said I wouldn’t cry.
I used to be so strong
Nothing could get in my way.
Now I am lost and forlorn
How did I get this way?
I Miss You.

I Walk for Hours

Sometimes I walk for hours contemplating life and thinking about all the time we spent together, the euphoria and the crashes; the joy and the heartbreak; falling in loving and then out. What’s done is done. The past can’t be changed… but I miss you like crazy. L.M.

I count the hours,
I count the days.
How much I miss you,
I count the ways.

I miss your voice,
I miss your touch.
And I miss the face,
That I love so much.

How to describe it,
There is no way.
I walk around,
In a permanent daze.

I long to feel,
Your warm embrace.
And to see a smile,
Upon your face.
