To those I have loved

Another poem by Speechless

To those I have loved

I have lost you forever.

 

With a sight unseen

With a hand untouched

I miss you with all my heart.

 

Being hurt by love leaves you alone

Being alone hurts the most.

 

I smiled for your pictures,

I laughed at your unfunny jokes,

I treated you like a friend.

 

You were the one who stood by my side

You were the one who tried to make me happy

You were the one that listened to my complaints

You were the one who gave me answers.

You treated me like royalty.

 

But what have I done?

 

I have hurt the only one I loved,

Please forgive me

Because it hurts, oh so much, darling.

 

I need you by my side

Every feeling I have, you now turn into hatred

I die a little bit every time I think of you.

 

To those I have loved,

I have lost you forever.

True love has no bounds. Don't know who said that but it is definitely true. Great poem. I can surely relate and feel your longing.

This was wonderful.
Very sad but it just made it all the more powerful. I really enjoyed it. It read nicely it flowed well and it was so full of emotion. I loved it.

If I had to make a small suggestion, the only thing I would change here is the use of the more classical "thee" form in the second stanza which jars a bit with the rest of the articles addressed as "you." Yes? Otherwise I think the emotion here is gripping; there is a sense of real loss and resignation here. It makes me want to read more as I wonder about the events that prompted such an outpouring of emotion. Good job.

Being alone hurts yes! But if you think about it I would really rather be alone hurting then to be with someone that brought on the hurt.
This is very well expressed and full of powerful emotion.

[Senseless whatever]

This is a great piece of work. I can feel what you are saying, been there.
