Heart to Heart

Oh, how you let go so quickly,
You seem to not care
At all, anymore.
Your opinion to me
Is the sun and the moon,
But I don't know what you feel.

I'd have you be honest with me,
For once, now,
My feelings mean so little to you.
Who are you with now?
Alone?
Or have you found someone new?

Are you afraid of me?
Something I never wanted.
You used to accept me,
To love me,
So there is nothing now?

You refuse to talk to me,
To look at me,
To see me,
If I'm nothing to you
Then why?

You don't seem that happy
But you made this choice
It can't be undone.
Yet anew we could start...
Why can't you let me
Make you happy again?

Were you anyone else
I'd have given up by now,
And yet,
You were the best part of me,
The best experience of my life,
I'd give you anything.

You told me once
In the dead of the night,
Our love was eternal,
That you would never leave me,
Unless I was unfaithful.
Yet faithful I remain,
And gone you still are...
Has that love abated completely?

I can't take more of this,
Unknowing, uncertainty,
The feeling of unhappiness you give off
As if you weren't happy with me
But now are miserable without.

I could make it work,
The way it was so long ago.

I look back to then now,
The man I was then,
Romantic, charming,
I'd do anything to have that back,
But he's tied to you still,
And without you, he cannot exist.

You said you do not care,
Yet you looked into my feelings,
You wished it could be the way it was.
I tell you it can,
If you would follow your heart.

Those giving you advice,
They don't know you as well
As you know yourself.
Find what you want, not what they say
Your heart is the only truth.

It seems like you are experiencing the whole dynamics of love. However, it can bring out the best in a writer like you. Your pain, angst or even regret can lead to masterpieces. You can actully learn from your works. I have been there and this maybe a sad piece but I like its honesty. Keep it up

I keep reading what you write and all I keep seeing is sadness, bitterness, sorrow, and questioning "Why" for yourself. But you should think that in a relationship that's broken, it's never one's fault but the faults come from both. Give a little space to yourself. I love your writing but so much unbearable pain...Still, all your poems talk to my heart.
