Glowing Ember....a poem
Was the smile false?
You couldn’t see
What the smile would do to me
You thought you said
All the words
But instead, ‘twas hurt you spread
How can it be?
That you could think
That I would not feel that you loved me?
The words were said
Oh, more than once
But all you saw, was in your head.
You did not speak
The truth to me
I cannot trust you, soft and meek.
I will not love again, I fear
You have taken all.
I cannot feel nor see or hear
I cannot stand. I fall.
Do not fear that I will say
The words upon my heart
You showed that you cannot be true
From the very start
Does love end, does it pretend,
To stop when it’s abused?
Oh no, no, no, it just cannot
Because….tis only bruised.
I will live
Still half, not whole
Yes, I'll continue on.
For I still have
With me, my soul
Which can never be gone.
Farewell dear one, beware of self
It will devour you…
If left unchecked, ‘twill bring regret
For that, I would not wish upon you (even now)
Do I still love?
Yes, you can ask.
Even though tis quite a task.
I shall not put love down.
(For love it not a feeling only)
Love, my dear
Draws one near
After it has grown.
Do what you must.
Be honest. Just.
But this you should remember.
You cannot hide
Nor shun…deny
A true love’s glowing ember.

a poem
The bridge is burned
you can't return
to the light you snuffed out now.
You chose instead
to go ahead --
believed the lie inside your head
and must go on somehow
without me there...
did you care
at all
about me then?
Was is useful, then, to keep me 'round
when all you did was frown
upon the very core of who I am?
Did you, just once
hold back the punch
reserved until you knew?
Did you enjoy
to toy
with me no matter what was true?
Faithless one
we are done
the bridge is burned
you can't return
you lit the match
and
without a glance
threw it on
before you learned
that you were wrong
all along...
you were wrong.
