Who was I

Who was I

 

 

 

Turn in the light of the moonlight,

turn but the best of lights that shine…

 

Could you stay when it hurts?

 

The embrace,

the heart that beats,

the kiss never given,

the never that was never given.

 

But the memories that hurt deep in the memories,

of what could have been.

 

Don’t forget what love,

was.

 

Didn’t forget the look on my face,

when you turned to him.

 

I held my head low,

and understood I was never what you wanted,

I was never that moment in your life.

 

I was never, never,

the heart that beat for you.

 

My heart beats for the sunrise of your love,

it waits in the shadows that hurt,

in the sunlight’s haze.

 

My heart and face was never what you wanted,

I understand what your love means.

 

Sometimes it hurts more than you or I know,

but we continue on with life.

 

My biggest hugs,

may they let you continue on.

Beautiful Ron. I love it. I have definitely been in this situation before. You have captured the hurt and yearning for that one person that you want and yet does not want you back perfectly. I delve deeper into this poem with every word. It was just beautiful.
