The Title Track Of My Life's Album (The One That Makes It Worth Buying)

This is one of my most current poems. I got married young, had my two babies young, then watched this year as my husband took my kids and forced me into debt and a custody battle.

The Title Track Of My Life's Album (The One That Makes It Worth Buying)

When I was little,

I can remember

dreaming

pretending

what it would be like

to be in love

I remember wanting it so bad

To have a family

To be married

To be in love

And I can say now

Years later

I have been there

I've been in love

A few times now

I've been married

I've had a family

And you know

It's not everything I expected it to be

I watched as my marriage fell apart

Destroyed from the inside out

My family taken away

My heart broken

You see,

It seems all my life

I was trying to search for love

Forcing it into my life

But now I think

Maybe love isn't something to be searched for

Maybe love isn't something I should be trying to find

Maybe hopes of love

Is something to be left behind?

But as the world would have it

The second I decided that love should be left behind

I met the man that would change my mind

When I was not looking

When I was not searching

For love in my life

I would very possibly meet a love

The love of my life

A man that would sweep me completely off my feet

And capture my heart

As it was falling apart

A man that would want everything with me

Including my little family

Who would change his life

His rules

Just to take a chance

To be with me

I guess I thought they were all the same.

They come into your heart

To make you fall in love

And then tear it apart.

But maybe that's not true

Maybe I have it wrong

Maybe love

And I mean true love

Real love

Comes together like a finished song

Maybe all I've had before is scattered choruses

And broken verses

But all wrong

Maybe it's about time

Because if true love is like a song

I'm pretty sure I've found mine.

[Broken Angel]

oh my god ! in your one poem I relived all my experiences , expectations, crushes , my heartbreaks. it reinforced my idea of serendipity and how we chase something that is meant to find us and all we have to do is be the best we can be. loved your work.
