This is the Day I Live Again

I took the advice of a friend and just opened the flood gates of my heart and this is what I found.

        This is day I live again

Though I go on without you

My soul burns with furied passion

No one now  with whom to share

How I miss being us instead of me

To be so connected to another soul

         When we were together I felt complete

Now I barely muster the strength to breath

Never has existing taken so much energy

Waking up in the morning I feel like its time to sleep

And when night rolls in I dread to touch my pillow

          This is the day I live again

Though I go on without you

Perhaps in time my heart will heal

And some other will I hold close

Though the thought at times seems repulsive to me

I know I must love again

         Man is not meant to be alone

My heart is too full of love for my fabled one

I can't let my heart die over you

It hurts like a thousand daggers in my soul

But love they say conquers all

          This is the day I live again

Though I go on without you

Know that I loved you and that I love you still

But I can't sit idly by my whole life waiting to see

If perhaps our love is a two way street

          My life goes on now because it must

You will never be forgotten nor shall my love die

But if you won't love me I must find another

For my heart demands to love and to be loved

I refuse today to let my love die

I hope you return but I'm not holding my breath

          This is the day I live again

Though I go on without you

 

 

 

Author's Note

This is a very different poem when compared to the rest of my work. I normally prefer to rhyme, but not this time.

There is a time to rhyme. And a time to let the words flow free. Good call.

[Exquisite*]

it's sad. I like that is does not rhyme, it doesn't need to because it still flows together really well.
It portrays breaking up emotion really well. Good Job
