Relationship Problems - Heartache Poems From A Suffering Relationship
Nightly I lay next to my heart-breaker
Asleep on the edge of a high, frigid cliff
One side is safe the other unknown, now
Which one is best for me, for this life?
Which one for my precious child

Roll, If only I could
Pain on one side
suffering on the other
Both ache my soul
Like swaying on the edge of a dull knife
Fresh with my heart’s life flowing down the sides

Remedies are fleeting, elusive
None can uncover the dark cloak smothering what
used to be me
For no one has tried, tho I have asked
If love has a price, when will I be indebted
If then, will this all be forgotten?

Can no one feel the pain from my hollow eyes?
Perhaps it is phantom feeling
Of a heart that once beat to lust’s thundering tempo
Mutilated but not removed from my soul
Only sometimes I can move on, forgive,
Please help me forget o’ lass

For flesh heals flesh, hearts heal hearts
Souls intertwine, give love a new start
For me
Then she brings me back to heartache,
only to tease me with love’s nirvana once more
the mind cannot overpower the heart
seeming once bitten, twice vie
if this is my life
o god please let me die

the flowers I pick
the poems I write
breathe life into my soul
dear wife
allow me to live
I find my poem on your floor

Flowers rotting in their paper
You robbed me what innocence remained
Left me bleeding and stained
For you are my raper
Of all that was good
Which I believed in, trust.

I can’t look at you anymore
You are ruled by your own lust
For yourself.....
Not for love or attention but something more
strange.
For acceptance I believe,
My dear, you can’t change.

Will you repair me o’ love of old?
I dare say not.
It is obvious to all hearing this
You prefer to let me rot
alone..

If I could leave us I would!
But it would just break more hearts,
Which would take this soul-zombied being,
And spread it around.
To give the greatest pain to the undeserving
And this I have found
Is the cycle of heartbreak which you brought to me
It’s not hate I feel for you
But all love has left me..
