The Keeper of my Heart

I was blissfully ignorant
caught up in love,
Ignored my intuition
who hinted and gnawed at my soul.

The truth was hidden
under the infatuation
but I wished to not see it
For I thought love was blind.

You handled my emotions
with a tug you made me smile
then pulled it down
until I drowned in tears.

A call every morning,
but at a certain time
Nothing was ever good enough
I never could win your games.

Yet you said I was it,
all of your dreams come true,
Then why did you try to change me
make me better for you?

We weren't a match made in heaven,
the angels said no.
We tried everything in the world
but came up worse then before.

I wanted you to be happy
and with me that is impossible.
The fights speak the truth
the tears wash away the lies.

I had to wave goodbye
and close my heart to you
tears fell for the final time
I was over you.

Looking back now,
I realize I was choking
I gave you my heart and soul,
and you held it tight in your grasp.

I was in the open
yet with my wings clipped
You made it seem I was free
Until I tried to fly.

But now they have grown
my heart is healing
I can soar to the heavens,
I'm better without you.

    Hmmm. This poem I can relate to, but in a twisted way. Half of it I can see myself, but the other half I see the other person.. That's what I call weird, but stunning nonetheless. This poem holds a great deal of personal pain and sadness, and you wrote it like an open book so both the writer and the reader can understand the point of views better. Great job!

    Thanks for entering your write in "Enter All Your Love Writes Here!", and good luck!

    This was great,
    I liked how you were looking back as well as at the time.

    What option were you doing?
    The control option?
    I wasn't too sure.

    But great entry, good luck in my contest.
