This poem is dedicated to She who stole my heart then shattered it into a million pieces


Here I sit day by day and struggle to hold back tears
for the lady that stole my heart with her smile and charm,
Never in my life had I felt so complete and whole
as I did while in her arms so soft and warm.
The life we shared was so wonderful and uplifting
that I was blinded to all else going on in life,
Waking each day with a smile and kiss so gentle
letting me know I wanted her as my wife.

Times have changed since I gave her my heart and soul
and I no longer am the gleam in her eye each day,
For I was not seeing the problems that were going on
and causing problems for her each and every day.
She left me with little to no warning for my heart
and now it is another mans name that she calls at night,
Leaving me here by myself to think back over the days
and curse my stupidity and lack of sight.

Even with all her lies to my face and heart
there is still little that I would not do for her,
To have the chance to prove to her my love and desire
so that we could make things better than they were.
Allowing me to make her my wife in name as well as heart
and us to move on and fix the mistakes we both made,
Putting the past behind us to learn from daily
and striving to reach the peace of a glade.

Yet for all my great and glorious hopes and dreams
that is all they are for me each night and day,
For it is not my love that she wants anymore
and her feelings for me have changed in every way,
Her moving on with her life and putting me behind her
while I am still shaking my head, lost in shame,
All because I could not be what she wanted of me
and now I can see that I am to blame.

Her love for me is still up to question
for her eagerness to run off with another guy,
Leaving me alone and heartbroken with naught to hold
other that memories and thoughts of why.
Now my heart lies here broken, bleeding, and shattered
and all around me can see the change in me,
For the joy is gone from my eyes and smile
and there is little left in me for any to see.
