Moving Onward

Just trying to heal my broken heart. I think he cheated on me from reading some of his poetry on this site. But I didn't ask and have no proof, nor does it matter anymore.

You took my heart and held it tightly in your hands.
It soared and flourished and blossomed.

You showed me what love was meant to be.
Pure, open, freely given, unselfish.

You took my heart to places it never know existed.
Places that before you were unreachable and didn't exist.

You gave me life. You gave me breath.
And you took it all away with a few simple words.

You said you wanted to end it. You said it was over.
I asked if you were sure. I told you to be certain.

You said you were sure. You said you would not come back.
You broke my heart. You took my breath. You destroyed my spirit.

My heart is closed. My soul does nothing but cry.
I have no eyes for another. I have no reason for being.

You took my life. The only one I ever loved was you.
I gave you all of me. My very essence. I trusted you.

You took it all away and left me to pick  up the pieces of my heart.
We can never be friends. We can never be lovers. Never again.

I told you before, and I will say it again.
I only go forward and never go back.

You told me it was a mistake. That you had changed your mind.
You told me you regret saying those words.

You are part of the past and will remain that way.
No matter how much I still love you.

This is very strong and powerful, indeed! It was straight to the point! The emotion was right on and it's everyone's story! You did a wonderful work showing how the so-called "perfect love" if ruined, can never let one life surrender and drown in sadness
