We spent the evening crying,
And holding each other
“What happened to us?” he asked me,
“You changed… it broke us apart.”
He held me so tight and said sorry,
He always says sorry
… but never changes his ways.
I wish we could go back,
And I wish I could have held him away
From all the bad things this world gave to him.
It is time for him to leave as we lay in my bed,
I wish he would not leave so often.
He leans over and kisses me,
Gently.
“I love you,
I love you so much.” He says to me.
And I look at him through tears,
“And I once loved you too.”
I roll over to my side and fall asleep,
And he leaves
…this time I know he’s gone forever.

great poem -
Gosh, I can *totally* relate to this piece. Man. It really sucks when someone won't give all they can to a relationship and then tell you that they love you -- it just doesn't coincide. I think maybe it's good that you had this dream because it allowed you to say, even subconciously, what you needed to say to maybe learn to let him go. You wrote this very well -- it brings the reader in.

woah. that was awesome. it didn't like make you think what was happening, it just told you right outta the blue. and i know how this feels, except the dreams i have are more.....creepy, not as calm as yours. but awesome write, i enjoyed it.

Oh this is so sad. I think you expressed your emotions well in this and am sorry it didn't work out. One of the hardest hurt to deal with is the pain from love. Great job on this piece and thank you for sharing it.
