Away From this House

Romantic Poetry

Life away from this house

Is lonely without you

Our house without your love

Is not our home

Since you been gone I been left here thinking

What a life we had together

We weathered every storm

But now that you have left and you are gone

This House is no longer our home

For love does not live here anymore

Only Ghost of what once was

Shadows the rooms and hallways

The loving home is no more

The children we had have grown and gone

They were not enough to keep this love strong

But they were the beginning

I did not look for another woman

but love has fallen apart

We walked our separate ways

Never to walk back that way again

Away from this house

we still call the Kids family

and their family is our family

we walk the straight and narrow path

That where never our two roads my pass

Our kids come first before we 

Completely walked away

Our lives are not a total mistake

It just hurts the kids 

When its all to late

But we both are trying to walk

That straight and narrow path

Where the married couples 

who stick things out

Run the three legged race

at a slower pace

They end up with that 

House that is a home with love

and healthy kids natured 

With love and respect for each other

Well..It is a very heart wrenching piece, the line that gets me is "we walked our separate ways, never to walk back that way again'' I broke up with my fiance and I can feel that hurt all over again reading this work.. very deep, thanks for publishing it!
