I cradle your heart

You and me

wont ever happen

Because you don't understand

 

the love i have for you

Doesn't stand a chance

 

we both know

how the other feels

but I'm not afraid to say it

 

I loved you

with all my heart

and cradled yours in my hands

 

I kept it alive

kept it living

kept it feeling

 

You broke mine

By not telling me to stay

By not telling me you loved me

 

We both know how the other feels

But I wasn't afraid to say it

I guess you were

 

We've both had heartbroken pasts

smashed hearts

that took along time to heal

 

The only difference is that i know

That not everyone will break your heart

I'm sorry you can't feel that way

 

Even now,

when my heart is in millions of pieces

I know, you didn't want to hurt me

 

My only hope, is that someday

you open your heart to someone special

So they can take your heart from me

And cradle it in their hands

i never cry..
but this truly made me tear up.
its very extraordinary when a writer can connect with the reader.
Love sucks. yea..and even more when its not given back to the measure that you give it. and it always feels like your holding onto that person.
hopefully you'll learn to let go..
i love this piece
