Poems about love that ended

As you can tell I am a person that feels deeply. Writing is something that allows me to express, validate, and understand my feelings. Something that makes you feel is something worth valuing. Don't waste your time with things that numb you. These are about intense love that came to an end. Remind yourself when someone says you are to much, you love to much that means that they aren’t enough for you. That you need more.

My Fire

you ignited something inside me

something that I thought died from the last time my heart was hurt

but after time I have came to realize

that what you ignited wasn’t something that had been on fire before

you touched a place in me that no one else did

a place where I felt free to be myself so much so that anytime I put the pen to the paper your face would appear

my hand couldn’t stop writing what my heart felt

since then my hand continues to write

different things now

but still hopefully things

I’m honest with myself now

I listen to my head and still feel deeply with my heart

thanks to you my book became real

you were my first pages

and in all the pages after I found

me

Our Dance

In that moment I put my hand in yours

and like a puzzle it fit

you spun me around that kitchen floor

like I hoped you would a million times

with every laugh and every stumble

I let myself slip into you

I let you in

like the mist coming off of a waterfall

so refreshing and rare

a beautiful sight that kept pulling me in

the song ended and so did our dance

I’m left with the tune in my head

and the ache in my heart

not sure if the next hand reaching out for a dance will fit

it won’t be like before that I know for sure

but life goes on and it’s to short not to dance

so today I dance alone with the radio up

listening to a new song

and sometimes I hear that song

the one we use to dance to

and I close my eyes not able to dance along

frozen listening to the words

but I do smile and remember when I did

it will forever be our song to me

be still my heart

let me move my feet

let the music take me forward instead of pulling me back

let the lyrics ease my mind and remind me it will all be alright

Yesterday

I write today to be thankful for yesterday.

I had moments of joy, laughter til I cried, and I was held to sleep.

Even though it was for a little while I am thankful for it.

in those moments I had no idea they wouldn’t last.

I felt like you would never be a stranger to me again.

Ironically the closer I got to you and the more I wanted you I was pushing you away.

I was ready for tomorrow’s with you and you were only ready for today’s.

Now you are gone and worst than a stranger now.

You are a memory that with every waking day pieces fade away.

I try to hold onto your smile and your big laugh.

The way you sing to me late into the night.

I have lost someone who was dear to me.

That I felt for deep in my soul.

The first person I was able to be myself fully with and be free at the same time.

Now you have shut me out.

My safe place is no longer.

I’m back alone in this world again.

This time a little more fragile, another person has gone before I was ready.

But I guess this is where my new journey begins.

I’m sad you have decided not to come along.

I will remember you with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.

I’m not sure if I will ever be ready to fully let you go, but I know I must not hold onto something I never truly had.

You will always be like a dream. with you it felt so real, but now I’m awake and I know it was just a dream.

I pray for strength for my journey ahead. For I know the last chapter I have cried to many tears.

May those tears carry me away to higher grounds and places I have never imagined.
