21. The One-Sided Affair
I loved her eyes, I loved her hair,
I loved her looks, I loved her stare.
I loved her attitude, so full of delight.
I loved her mind, so quick and so bright.
I loved her eyes, I loved her hair,
I loved her looks, I loved her stare.
I loved her attitude, so full of delight.
I loved her mind, so quick and so bright.
I understand your pain, I once had a friend whom I helped unconditionally. Gave her financial support, food on the table, place to stay and paid her study fees, cause her family could not...

There is a time to love
And a time to forget
A time to get rid of
And a time to close set

This addiction, my worst enemy
Has gone from days, months, to years
It's taken over my life, haunted me
It's become my biggest fear.
I was really good friends with this guy. He made me smile and I made him smile. After months of being friends he starts making gestures. He would ask me to hang out or hold my hand, and he...
The looks, the heat
Every smile, so sour, so sweet.
I had known you made me complete.
Everything I needed, I never wanted more,
I miss you in silence
And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding
Those pieces of who I used to be
One has to find themself, I agree, and not be totally reliant on somebody. I know because I was never allowed to live freely; now my independence I treasure dearly.
You were my boat, sleek by design.
I was your jetty, one of a kind.
We were deeply in love and made for each other,
And I promised I'd never harbour another.
The earth spins like a rolling ball.
Stars shine bright then fade away.
Darkness melts and turns to light.
The sunrise starts another day.
You were like a shining light
Into the darkness of my life
I was taken back by the way you smiled
I knew from the start you'd always have my heart.
The intentions are real
But the truth is untold,
Patiently awaiting the lies to unfold.
Her heart shatters with the thought of his touch.
I still remember the moment we met
The time we shared, I'll never regret
That summer in the sun we spent together
I can only hope you'll always remember
It's done and it's over
I'm through with misery
No more sadness
No more you and me
Only seconds
to fall in love,
to be immersed,
to want someone.
Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don't care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.
You made me trust you,
You made me love you,
You made me dream that you were the one for me.
We've connected through times of joy
Even through times of pain
I can see right through your show and
Unfortunately, I have to let you know
I ask, why did you want to damage me?
My aching heart felt it all with blunt force.
So sad how you acted out savagely.
What's even worse is you had no remorse.
Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
You passed my life
Soft, gentle, and unpredictable
Like a floating cloud
These teardrops beside me flow,
From a quiet, happy, thankful soul.
The years taking their expensive toll,
Her beautiful smile a grand seed to sow.
I don’t know
what healing
is meant
to look like,
I'm very fond of short, powerful, poems, and this is one for sure. Recovery can be the hardest thing we do, but it's always, always, worth it. Good write/read.
