shattered into pieces
that's what he did to me
now again he wishes to talk
but that cannot be,

it was a long way out
i'd gave all i had away
now i see light again
with nothing left to say,

heart torn and battered
misused and rusted
soul broken to bits
mind all flustered,

a new spark lights me
old flame burned out
months ago when he left me
when he closed our love's door,

when i wanted him
now i don't care anymore
cannot hear him anymore
the love is gone,

like moldy coffee
just like a bad song
he was everything to me yet
did not want to fix what was wrong,

many promises; none were true
it was easier to ignore me
he did not care if i was blue
not face reality just floor me,

he says i was his one big love
the lifetime one,
oh, well, i was not his cuppa tea
says: too many animals with me,

he had every excuse in the book
now he wants to hold onto memories
they are not his to hold
time to let forth the sea,

friends first; lovers last
for five years he knew me
thought he learned everything
turns out he looked right through me,

like a bird shot out of the sky
i believed what once he said
falling to earth wondering why
all he did was muck up my head,

once he was in my dreams
now most nights are spent alone
but other dreams have come to pass
and my heart hath come home,

so why would i want
to be hurt again
from that one who
was not genuine?

so i will write in my
usless life from my heart
but he will not be in my world
to ever again tear it apart.

U go girl friend!
We can all learn from this one.
Never found it yet but I truly believe that true luv will never die.
As friends I've read every line that makes u one of the worlds best catches if ya wonna look at it that way, evry line of pain, agony, longing, dis belief that someone u luv could be so cold. K I mite miss a few here-n-there but I'm so ******* proud of u. and who ever he is the loss is yours u shouldda been thinking 'bout someone besides yourself.
Yeeehhhhhaaaaaa
luv ya girlfriend,
emy

The background I remember from 'sook', another intensely emotional and involving write I've read by you. I was touched by the hurt expressed . . . *sigh* These are the words;

"but other dreams have come to pass
and my heart hath come home,"

Hope you can/have forgiven him sometime -you seem to have moved on from what perspective I could glean from your poetry . . .

Thanks for sharing.

Awww lady this was so beautiful yet so sad.

I have been there many years ago and it hurts so much. It seems through reading between the lines that this was a one sided love.
You deserve better loads of respect and love.
Did he consider your feelings in all of this or when you were together.
May your heart heal soon

Lots of love Sweetangelukxxxx

An immense strength to the poem Nessa.
Your words just spell out your emotions.
Powerful read.

WOW! I can totally relate to one-sided love. It's not wise to take him back only to feel these same things again. You have expressed all your deep emotions,as always,and I hope he has learned a lesson. Once you brake it...you can't glue it back together in hopes...it holds water. ;-)
Lame I know. :P Hope you stick with the dogs, they make better bedfellows!!! lol
Lots of hugs and tons of love!!!
