Where I Stand

This is my first poem to my ex-girlfriend -POST BREAK UP- yet posted here, and it was also written here, so look at it as a kind of first draft.

I still love you
I won't condescend to the truth of that
I won't break down my love with a wrecking ball
Not when I built this spire to Heaven so honestly
The years of my best work, delicately joined
With such care, each finial set firmly in stone
Rock solid foundation, where I encased my feet in cement

As you topple your statues of me
Dragging them through the street
I am looking at the buttresses and arches
Which supported all our love
I can't break the keystone
I can't bring myself to destroy
I still love you

Author's Note

Tell me how to give this more flow. I am opened to all ideas.

Such a heartfelt piece...I think it's perfect as is, did she ever read it? x

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

She never did...Or rather she hasn't YET. Even as I can accept it may be over, I don't believe for a moment that we can possibly forget each other or that we will not cross paths again. We have been friends for twenty years, her and I. To lose that is literally unthinkable.

All you can do is give it time, I think if two people are meant to be life will find a way...

I surely hope so. I am wiling to wait, but I hope not too long...
