Parted

A poem about being separated from your love

At first I believed it was to be forever

Deep down I knew 

You knew too 

Couldn’t let go, never

But truth is I could have been more clever 

How does one play smart in love?

I always wore you on me like the perfect glove 

I know even today it’s only you I think of

Parted we were 

Circumstance gave us no choice                          

I wanted to say so much

But swallowed my voice

I still talk to you 

Every night I do

I’m sure you know that too

Layers of ours still seep through my veins 

I do smile but it pains

For there are now only remains 

Treasured moments shared

Emotions declared

Today fragments of my heart, impaired.

I keep close the vision of our caress

Thankful for those moments where I was blessed 

Parted for reasons we no longer express     

Buried deep down

My king you are, but this queen no longer wears your crown

In friendship I have found my answer 

Destiny leads me, I am the marionette dancer

Fate etched our separation long before we cried 

We fought the torrents and tide

An undercurrent will always swim through me

My love for you sings everyday like a plea

Great piece of work! Has much emotion and clear love is still there, I
went through a divorce after15 years that nearly killed me and thought
I would never recover but I have with the Lords help and
still have much love for my ex, no respect but much love!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
