Heartache

I wrote this poem to my ex girlfriend. We are trying to remain friends. I fell out of love with her. The guilt I feel about that is immeasurable, for she has every virtue of an angel and every moral of a saint......but my heart couldn’t feel that for her anymore......

To Ruby

I gave a gift of broken heart

How to fix? where to start?

Loves confusion caused you pain

Little else but hurt to gain

I want to help you, but I’m the knife

That’s cut into you that’s drawing life

Time and distance will fix and mend

All will be better in the end

You will find someone who loves you whole

Who treats you better who soothes your soul

You will find this of your own accord

Under your own power under your applaud

I will be with you still if you want me to be

A souvenir......perhaps a trophy

What I do not want is to be the pain

Who gives you little with little to gain

I need you happy I need you strong

I need you to listen for another love song

For I am the weak one who hurt you still

And I am crying and I am ill

Your kindness and compassion it knows no bounds

Your beauty your soul, positivity surrounds

You shimmer like a diamond you move like the air

Your name it gives you something, nothing else can compare

And much like a diamond, you will form the same way

Pressure, stress and pain ahead lay

But on the other side you will be created

Into the shimmering gem, you’ve long awaited
