Burnt By Love

Sometimes I'm left wondering

Through sadness what cold lies in your heart..

They tell me it was for the best,

I don't believe them or you..

You said the feelings died.. 

Mine didn't,

Then again they never do.

Your love was mine..

You stole my heart only to shatter it,

Left the pieces on the ground for me to pick up..

Our love was a flame..

I got burnt and started to fear..

To fear love..

To fear the fire..

Now my dear,

I'm afraid to love and be loved 

all because of you..

I have been through this exact situation. Describes how I felt about 2 years ago when I found out my boyfriend of five years cheated on me. Then I learned that life goes on and so does love. Thank you for sharing such a powerful poem. Hugs
