Love

Heartache and shame
overcome by agonizing pain
for something that once was so beautiful
has been turned into a dispiteful game.

Love was something that warmed
my battered heart and now it has become
that something that has torn my soul apart.

Its amazing the warmth
of a touch and the unforgettable
first kiss and then the falling part is something
that you can not miss.

They say that you are so lucky that you
had the chance to fully love at all
but then after your heart has been broken
you feel like you will never be able to love another
and you hide yourself behind an emotional wall.

The first kiss that you can never forget
becomes something that tears you apart and
to remember all the little things makes you
pray to god that you never had a heart.

When you are in love there is this flame
but like a candle flickering in the night
the slightest breeze can take away the light and
you are left cold and alone in the darkness
with memories that haunt you like the shadows
and the darkness that becomes your only friend.

Love at first is something that is so beuatiful
but then when it is gone it leaves you soul in flame
and your heart in agonizing pain,
so is love something  beautiful is it something that can stay true
do you think that there is will be some one that one day you will
meet and then here will come the I love you and the I love you too
will it stay beautiful and warm your heart or will it be the thing to tear
you world, soul, and heart apart?

Author notes

Love and Soul. I really dont think this poem is all that it can be but its hard for me to write about love so I thought I would take the personal challange and see what the outcome is. I am 20 weeks or 5 months pregnant and the father who I am still sadly in love with was cheating on me and wanted me to have an abortion and got angry with me when I didnt, come to find out he was living with me but told his family and another woman that he was living with a friend and when I wouldnt have an abortion he had to tell them about me and couldnt keep me a sercret anymore? So when something like that happens what are you to think about love? Here I am torn because I loved him and he didnt love me and now I am having a little girl and I will be the only parent to love her and I will once again have to have my heart broken when she looks at me and asks.... Mommy why doesnt my daddy love me or want to see me???

  • Awe, this is really sad and heartbreaking to read. I know exactly how you feel. Many people can relate to this sorta pain. This is a very beautiful write yet really sad such powerful emotion. I'm sorry that the baby father isn't being so fair or anything. He should be there for you and be happy with your decision if he didn't want a baby then why would he get you pregnant but anyway wonderful write it was very touching and good luck and I hope everything works out for you
