Love in the Past

Love in the Past

A Poem by David A. Lawson

 

I wish I could leave my love in the past
Especially since I found that your love did not last
How can I fix my broken heart
I want it fixed completely, not just a part
I hate to think badly of you
It seems to happen no matter what I do
You let go of our love and betrayed my trust
You did that by giving into the lust
Even though I hurt, I still very much love you
I’m just wishing your love for me was true
You say you love me but am I more than a friend
I remember when you said your love would never end
I want to be your friend but I don’t want to be anything more
You betrayed my trust and that hurts me to the core
Unconditional love is what would heal my heart
I want to find it but I don’t know where to start
Maybe I should live my life all alone
If I do that, will my heart turn to stone
Life without love is not good at all
Something like that I wouldn’t know what to call
This needs to be done in order to live my life without you
To heal my heart is what I am going to do
This hurts so much because I wanted you to be my wife
Now all I can see is you not remaining in my life
This pain seems to have no end; I wonder how long it will last
Right now all I want to do is leave my love for you in the past

I just feel so stricken with grief after reading this poem. To suffer a loss of love is unbearable. The deep feelings you write of are to the extreme and so strong. I am amazed and breathless from reading it and soon you will heal. I know it takes time and its the last thing but it will. You're a great poet.
