The Love I've Lost

Wed, 04/26/2017 - 23:49 -- 431G417

The whole of her in my eyes

The thought of her in my mind

I feel the despair of no kind

I cry

I feel the love no other have known

For I have loved her, and loved her alone

None other have stayed to hold her as I’ve done

Did they really just think it was easy and fun?

To be lonely in this love I have for her

To bear her weight and mine

To others, I’d smile, I said it was fine

But how could I watch my one true love die?

To crumble to fall, and in all of your faults

I STAYED, my love I stayed

It was hard to carry us both, but I couldn’t leave you

I considered the option, BUT ONLY JUST ONCE

I wanted to experience the life of the fun

But I’d never leave you my love, I never did, not even once

And when you’d say, how you were wronged. By all the others who didn’t know you. I listened

And when you’d say, how I was wrong, well I’d listen to that too

When you said how pathetic, and stupid I was. I believed it.

And when you said I deserved all those marks, I believed that too.

And I was broken, as were you

I blamed myself

And though it hurt, I couldn’t see it, until IT got worse

Then I had to leave

I couldn’t stay

Not even just, to hear you say

“I love you,” my love, I truly do

This poem is about: 
My family

For years of my life, I've had to take care of my disabled mother. She had many problems beyond physical. We were close, but she started abusing me. So I sought out a better life,but to this day, I still love her.

After note

But it was nice

And she was kind when she could be

A small damaged thing

But I cared…….oh I cared

And when she’d smile

I forgot the strife and how she made me hurt
