I don’t understand, the way you define love.
I cannot grasp this agonizing pain.
The sheer tenderness, to even the lightest touch
How can a heart hurt so deeply,
over the “love” of someone who never really cared.
Someone, whose love drained,
the very moment, that things got tough.
And who couldn’t have cared less,
whether I stayed or went.
~~
I don’t know what hurts my heart more
Not being able to tell you how much I love you
Or only hearing silence, when I do
I don’t know what tears my soul apart more
The thought of living without you
Or the image of you in someone else’s arms
~~
I don’t understand how I could have ever thought,
that forever wasn’t long enough.
These days without you by my side
have proven to me, that forever is way too long.
Too long to live without your love, your touch.
Way too long to live without your arms wrapped around me,
Or to feel your kiss on my lips or your breath on my skin
Too long to live without feeling your heart beat next to mine.
Author notes
This feels a little scattered to me.. but, it is what it is.
In a list
Be Truthful.

Seems somewhat close to the heart, the message involves a feeling of love gone away and missing someone. Then there is the idea of another person. If we are honest we have all loved without being loved in return, and seen love fade away. The part we keep is the the love we give to someone, it stays and becomes part of us, our capacity for feelings in a sense... and this is all we ever really have,I think...well done here a heartfelt and open work of poetry...PK

I love this poem. God why is love so hard sometimes? I dont think you ever stop loving someone, I think your right they will always be in your heart intamacy can be lost but the love you have for someone stays just in a different way (does that make any sense lol?), because love is unconditional, it stays with us even long after the relationship is over. Unfortunatley not everyone is capable of unconditional( I know because Im in love with someone who doesnt know the meaning of the word unconditional) love, you my dear are, thats why its so hard.

Some of the harshest words ever uttered were...
"I love you but, I'm not in love with you..."

Love never changes hon, only we do...
When either partner puts conditions on the giving of their love
it no longer is love, for love is always unconditional. Love is to be given regardless of whether it is returned or not. And if love is not returned we must harbor no ill will against them, for this fills the heart with anger and hurt, so new love can not come in. It is only the heart empty of hate that can truly attract love once more,
just as you can not add more water to a glass that is full, first you must empty it's contents. If anger or hate is maintained the emptying can not take place.
There is nothing wrong with continuing to love someone who doesn't love you, but there is when "denial" enters the picture
and we falsely assume we will get back together with them. The hardest lesson you will ever learn to to give love unconditionally irregardless of whether there is return or not, for that goes against human nature, since we are a dual being.
Thoreau was asked about what if the impulse he had was from
below and not above, to which he replied, "It doesn't appear so,
but if so, then I will act from the devil."
Many would misinterpret this to be a bad thing, but when looked at from the aspect of duality, it is merely stating that
if bad comes, I will walk with it, it good comes, I will walk with that.
We can't change what comes, but we can change how we REact to those actions that come.
Love lost is the same as losing a person. There is a grieving process you must go through before you understand and can go on again with your life.
We can not change the past, we know not the future, the only time we have any effect on is this moment right now. This is why they say tomorrow is another day, each choice we make can lead us in a new direction if that is what we want.
Change will come, whether we want it or not, so better for us to choose the direction we point our feet then for us to be swept along with no control of the matter.
Don't worry about still having love for the other, but on the same note, don't let it be the controlling factor in your life.
The only person you have full control over is yourself, if the other person is not willing to accept you as you are then you are better off without them. Love WILL come again hon, I promise.
Just as the pendulum of a grandfather's clock swings back and
forth, so too, do the days, from good to bad and bad again.
It is not a matter of if good will come again, it is only a
matter of hanging on until that change does come...
Hugs...Eddy
