She is my rock of ages

She is my pillar of Stone

She is my rock of ages

She gave her heart so clear

She has a soft touch 

that melts my heart

And I gave my loving from the start

Her mind was melancholy but 

Then I made her glad

The day we meet

Started oh so heart felt

We fallen in love for the second time

I'm wishing you were still in my heart

To stay for eternity and a day

But time had drifted our love away

Two ships passed in the night

Sailing to distant destinations

We may never fall in love again

Like words to an Innocent love song of old

memories of our days in High School

all but gone by the waste side

Like drown in a river flowing down stream

The breakup was nothing but mean

She did not know what to say but hurtful things

and to tell she had a new love in her life

I did not have to think about it twice

I needed to hop away and save my sanity

Before she grabbed my granite and stolen

away what was good in life now that it was over

the best was yet to come freedom from slavery

and the loaded gun.

You convey the passage of time well. With some people, love bring people together over the years. And, for others, the opposite.

I like how you realized that you needed to get away after the breakup to find positive things in life again. Definitely good advice and people can actually be stronger after these tough times.

Your poem helps me feel hopeful and believe that people can move on.
