I pray for you every night before bed,
Praying that one day you will be out of my head,
Praying that one day you will let me forget;
Hoping that one day I will forgive my regret.
All the things I have done wrong,
Only to be concealed within myself... Be Strong.
All my emotions bottled up inside,
For which I wait no more to hide.
I love you with all my heart,
Saying that is only the start;
The start of a new life,
Not one of which that has failed to thrive.
Now that you have shown me your feelings,
I resist no more with eyes that are bleeding.
One evening you will see,
What you really meant to me,
When you said good-bye; I was not ready,
I was unfit, unwilling, and unsteady,
I loved you more than you were ready.
And now you part because of your reasons,
Perhaps hurt by my simple treasons.
Everything that I have done,
And I can't bare to say you've won.
This is my final good-bye,
You've left me in my own hell to die.
Alone in solitude; in a cold basement,
Having no one; My broken heart is your replacement.
Yet you make no notion to care,
I wish you could feel my sorrow and despair.
I once loved you more than anything else I thought of,
And now you have become my past love.

It's hard when love dies for one but not the other. Really the truth of it is, one of the ones in love was not really in love. When we are younger and don't really know what life holds we fall into things that are doomed from the start. Your heart will mend and you will find love again. The loss will make you appreciate the new love more. This is a sad write and the emotions are really strong here! I enjoyed the read and remember the feelings behind it! Good luck, Anthony
So much feeling in this that I can feel it myself. It brought a tear to my eye as I read it. It made me think of a time when love had come to an end, and I thought the whole world just might, too. At times like that, it is so hard to believe that things will ever get better, and only the passing of time can help.
I haven't spent much time on PnP for some time now, and I see that I missed this one. I'm glad I found it. It's great to see how your writing has evolved! Congrats, Tammy!

This has always been one of my favorite closing stanzas. It makes me want to cry.
The whole piece is so full of passion, yet not over-done, simply one of matter of fact reflection seeing the relationship as it is, seeing your heart as it is.
Thank you for this. I will continue to come back to it.
Tammy: This is a moving poem of lost love. Well written and with catchy wording that brings a pause to absorb it's full meaning. I like to see the rhyming. Not always an easy thing, I know. It is missed in the use of bleeding rhyming with "feeling". I thoroughly enjoyed the poem and the "feeling" really is there. dale
