Goodbye pain

As a child romance was a far off wonder

It was almost like magic

Magic that I would never know

 

And then as time went on

And I grew

Romance seemed even farther then before

 

It was a far off dream

A myth

 

And then you came along

And that changed

It was different

And unexpected

 

You change me

You made me better

You made me smile when I wanted to cry

You listened to me even when I sounded crazy

 

But soon there was a part of romance I had forgotten

The heart break...

 

I had never learned about the heart break

And so I was not prepared

I didn't know how to handle it

without breaking compleatly

 

The dream of romance soon vanished again

It became a distent dream again

So far away I couldn't see it anymore

 

But the pain didn't vanish

The pain ate away at me

It stayed longer then you did

It made me forget all good

 

And now I see you

And I no longer want romance

Because the pain lasts longer then the joy

 

Goodbye far off dream

Goodbye romance

Goodbye pain

Hey I can't help but notice your ending sounds vaguely familiar with one of my recent poems..The fun thing is you wrote this on Sept. And I in Jan. And you published after me..How we writers are alike...the thoughts that is..another example..

Good write..the concept not old..but I like the honest, straight from heart writing here..Enjoyed it..
