This chapters closed

I'm glad you were here

in my life for a while

 

We made a wonderful chapter

that seemed like it went on forever

 

But chapters end

and the book closes

 

I wish I could keep it open

make it last forever

 

But it's slowly closing

everythings slipping away

 

I fought till the end

to see if you stayed

 

I tried to keep it open

but you didn't care

 

The whole time

there was secrets kept

 

I was lied to

I cried every night

 

 

I loved you

you played me

 

I'd give up anything

to see you again

 

I'm glad this chapter's over

but I don't want to see it go

 

I loved you once

always have

always will

I like the way you used the language in the poem. Chapters of life can be closed down and left to remind us to stay away from bad folks. Nice flow of thoughts and I like the ending a lot. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Very nice write. interesting to see the emotions and desires move back and forth from acceptance to desire.

Very clever... I liked it a lot.

People come into our lives for two reasons: either as blessings or lessons. People who don't stick around and choose to leave are ignorant and not worth our time. If we give them our all, then we've done our part. If they leave, it doesn't mean you've done something wrong. It's their fault for not taking time to get to know you as a person...we all have good and bad chapters in life, those who stay from beginning to end are truly worth trusting and keeping.

Another great piece! The moment I feel the most intensity is at "I'd give up anything to see you again" because that's a line of conflict as you previously said they played you, yet inside though you've been wronged you still have sentiments for this person. Very good poem specially when comparing relationships to chapters in a book and how everything does tends to have to end at some point but then the real value of the book is the story left within it's pages.

this is heartfelt and possibly original ..
but it has deep significance in my life .. so i'd say you touched me through this ..
and especially:
"I'd give up anything
to see you again"
this is where i sense depth .. :)

emotional poem, heart break perhaps,
so sad a story well expressed, well done.
