I Will Rise from the Ashes my Love

A love of 21 years gone bad

I Will Rise from the Ashes my Love    I loved you for many years, and many tears, been there when you needed me most. Like a shadow I was there, now I am lost. By your side through it all including your fears. Good times, bad times, no matter the cause. You took me for granted. I thought we would never part. Feeling now as if I was in a mist of what used to be, our so called love that would never end. You took my love, my heart, my soul and burned it down, said you would love me forever, never to hurt me. Then you go out just to sleep with another woman who was supposed to be my best friend. You then have the nerve to tell me you love me with all your heart and soul. I was the only woman for you. I tell you, 'PLEASE don't lie to me anymore'. If you loved me you would have never done the things you have done. I see you looking at me. I see the guilt in your eyes. In my eyes do you see the pain you have caused? I run from your touch because it is like a razor, cutting into my heart. You want me to reach out to you with open arms, but you see, I can't, for you have broken my heart. You don't understand the pain I feel inside. My heart you took and shattered into a million pieces. You took our love and you burned it to the ground. Some day some how I will pick up the pieces of my **broken heart and weeping soul, then I will go on. Then and only then I will rise from the ashes of a love that was never true to begin with. You see one day my love I will love again. Then you will be nothing but a memory. By MELISSIA ANN SENTER   © 2007 MELISSIA ANN SENTER (All rights reserved)

great job! i;m sorry that you had to have this experience but at least this piece was a positive outcome of the situation. i could not even imagine the pain that you must have felt when i first started reading this poem, but by the end i could feel it. to be able to get your reader to feel what your reading is simply beautiful no matter what emotion it is!
keep on writing
