The Fight

Why didn't you fight for us?

I sit here in anger and anguish

thinking about the life at the risk to never have,

if only you had spoken and told me I was the one,

the love of your life, 

we'd be sitting here cuddling ,talking and having a laugh

I sit here thinking about all our past ,

the conversations, reading them over and over,

looking for a clue, 

letters from first to the last

Why didn't you fight for us?

Keeping your pain silent,

Letting me think another was the one that comforts your aching heart,

now I'm sitting here crying, wanting to die from the pain,

for this life that now seems like living a lie,

Both our hearts now broken into a million sharp pieces,

cutting and shredding while living our lie of a life,

Nearing each other you and I,

the cutting and shredding becomes soothing and healing,

minus the lie of a life

Loving me in silence, 

letting me think you didn't care,

that you were in love with another, love undeclared,

I thought you loved me, 

but not to that level,

we are still worth it, our love's in the air

Now we're both with two different people,

loving each other with distance to part,

Broken to pieces like our hearts in a million,

cutting and shreadding uneasy apart,

Longing to be whole, soothing and healing,

our souls call out to merge into one

It's not too late to fix this injustice,

and make things right,

Don't worry together our souls become whole

our life will flourish and grow,

our story will begin now so let's take control,

Let's fight for each other,

fight for a true love, 

that happens once in a lifetime with deep struggles and all,

let's fall in love each night together,

loving and caring, caring for it like a long lost treasure,

I want to live in a cabin, with our kids and our dogs,

until the day, we say we fought, against the odds

Great message! This poem makes me remember ones I have lost too, and just missing them… very nostalgic.. great write, keep up the good work.

Thank you Ricky, the emotion of missing someone that isn't around anymore is so hard, and you are right, the nostalgia is hard to deal with, thank you for the kind words :)
