Rebuilding...

I was just really missing him yesterday and wrote this.

Since you went away-

This is how I spend most days.

Cleaning out the junk in my life and in my mind,

Picking up the shattered pieces you left behind.

Repairing the heart,

That you ripped apart-

At the seams,

Rebuilding my self-esteem.

Some days are harder than others-

Especially today-a day for lovers.

It hurts to know that you're spending the day with someone new,

While I spend the day alone and blue.

Time flies by-

The good news I don't cry-

Anymore when I miss you.

I only remember what I choose to.

I still listen to our song,

And sometimes I still wonder what went wrong.

But most days I just keep living,

And praying,

That someday, somebody will love me just the same-

As I loved you, only this time I hope they will remain,

And give our love a chance, you see.

And finally it really will be-For Eternity.

very very deep, the emotion drips from it... i can relate on the topic, even being the one that left... sometimes we never forget that one... beautiful poetry

Valentines can be very hard for some people, and letting go of past loved ones can be even harder. Seems like you are rebuilding though and always have hope. NH

This is a good poem I liked it. It makes me think about how many times my hearts been ripped out. So therefore I really liked it mom.
