Things I wish I could've said

A Poem by ParmalA

Inspired by an all consuming, devouring relationship which swung like a pendulum from love to hate and back again.

And so once again the air has gone stale,

your voice has let go of it's magical whisper,

the battle sirens ring wild,

here comes the screams and silent prayer,

when did we intermarry love and war,

when did this turn into an indifference contest,

how bloody will these blades get before we admit we don't want to tear apart.

"I'm sorry and I love you"

six words we should not have held onto,

and maybe, just maybe, i would have slept sound at night,

tell me am I the the only one crying,

was I the only soul you easily moved over,

does it kill you to know I maybe happy,

in another man's arms,

or is it just my heart that dies a little seeing you giggle around her.

"Do you hurt as much as I do?"

eight words I never mustered enough courage to ask you,

tell me how much you missed me,

when the starless nights mercilessly grew long?

Just confess once that it kills you too,

declare once that you love me too,

so that our worlds don't feel so empty.

I'm sorry and I love you,

do you hurt as much as I do,

every shooting star since that wretched heartbreak I have prayed

that you would love me as much as I you

and you never seem to show me that my prayer was heard.

Author's Note

It's not as poetic as some poems about heartbreak are, I wrote this with no intention of creating beauty. Only explaining pain. :) Have a great day and please do correct me grammatically and help me out if you believe something can be bettered ^_^ Thank you lovelies ^_^

I really like this poem. As I read it, I can feel your pain and heartbreak and am able to relate to it. You did a really good job! The only grammatical error that I saw is that "maybe" in the 13th line should be two words. Thank you for sharing this
