Don't touch me

Aware of moments lost
of moments that will never be
that you and I will NEVER share

You choose her to make
even more memories with

Things I will never do
places Ill never go

Places in this world
Ill never set foot on

Places in my heart
that will never
be filled

Your punishment is knowing
you stole that from us

From "ME"

You had 5 years
of memories
with her

when I am your wife
you should have been
making new ones with me

And it will NEVER be

Ill only ever be
half in love with you

Because now
I love you
with a broken heart

I know the feeling of having a broken heart and still in love with that person. thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.

Great poem i can't wait to read more

As Enigma said, the ending is what puts the "punch" into this piece. As a man that has been down the relationship path a few times in my life (less than one hand for the curious) I feel a lot out of this as I've not been the first and only to any of them.

Still, let the past be what it is - we all have demon, skeletons, and the occasional beast or monster. I am only coming to the grip with this myself as the years wisen me.

Strong words for a difficult subject, very well put. There is bitterness and anger here, anger that needs to be vented

"I'll only ever be
half in love with you

Because now
I love you
with a broken heart."

There could not be a better ending to this piece. Loved it. :)

The last two stanzas are incredibly poignant and painful. Love can be awfully unfair at times, I can say that. Wonderful work Samantha.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A well versed piece that stands alone and has great impact!

[Raymond Federle]

What can I say that has not already been penned here? Well done, Sam.

There is so much emotion here, such of a heart ache, pain....you have expressed this emotions quite well. Well done samantha

This arouses such pain and anger in me; that one would treat his beloved like this. As a bride and mother you are deserving of pure love and sweetest devotion. You deserve so much more.
