Dear

Dedicated to the one who was the love of my life...and my greatest heartbreak

You were here by my side

With twinkling hazel eyes

Dilated as they gazed at me

We had such a spark in the beginning

We held one another close

We made each other promises

We were one

Our love was something

No one could deny

It used to be us

And no one else

We could reach that special place

Just you and me together

And feel complete

Oh, so complete

But the pain of losing you

Of losing the other half that was fused

So perfectly

Has been my greatest despair

And our greatest mistake

How did we go wrong?

How did that bond between us,

the bliss,

the moments of pure joy,

simply crash and burn?

Why did we let things get so bad?

How could those exchanged smiles

and charming winks

escalate to words that should have

never been spoken?

Our love and our loss

Our hearts split apart

And yet I can't forget

The days where we

Truly were

In love

And yet I can't help but wonder

How we truly

Lost it all

Author's Note

This is more personal than anyone and a way to get this out of my system.

Heartbreak poetry often sounds trite, but you managed to bring true emotion to this. Well written.
