A fairy-tale pairing, him and me.
Now a different future is all I see.
No happy ending for him and me.
I’ve learnt now life’ll be what it’ll be.
Never imagine life too far ahead,
When plans break, it’ll leave you scared.
Start to doubt, decision making left impaired.
Nothing is promised, even once you’re wed.
A constant dread now fills the void.
No trust left, constantly paranoid.
Scared to give myself up to others,
Even hold back from my own Mother.
So much of me left still to rebuild.
I gave him so much, for so long.
One thing I know; I am pretty strong.
But for now at least, my love is sealed.
I will concentrate on me only.
Fight this feeling of being lonely.
Learn to love who I am, what I do,
I don’t need him, I don’t need you.
I’m getting there, I should be ok.
I find myself laughing more and more,
I think that the hurt is less sore.
I’m just taking all this day by day.

A very beautiful and yet sad poem. I could feel the sadness and hearache in your words and then towards the end you can feel hope and a resolution entering into your words that is very uplifting. I really enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading more of your work.

Awesome poem!
It's hard when you get out of a relationship you've put so much of yourself into... it's very hard to get up on your feet and get on going once again... It takes time, but it's not impossible. And you seem to have the determination it takes to do so. Take your time to heal, and love yourself. Self aprecciation is the key... And, whatever you do, don't close yourself to new things, and new experiences... you never know what fate might bring along... That's something I had to apply myself, and I don't regret one bit of it.
Your nickname says it... be like the phoenix, and rise from the ashes!

Terrific poem
And when you have had a rough life or you are trying to get over/through something, that's the best way to do it - day by day
