Becoming Deaf to Love

I remember the touch of love
her breath as she reached in to kiss
- but stopped suddenly
just to look into my eyes
and smile
because she knew she had me
and yet never to realize
the small and fragile girl
was stronger than I could ever be
A time before the sour smells
cheap thoughts, expensive drinks
boozed and giggly creatures
eager to shared their cold bed
- just once
and forget your name in the morning
thinking that theirs is the only broken heart
because a boys a temporary thing
too frequent an object to hold onto
I remember the words of love
she would say with wet eyes
while I’d hide mine
- and try to catch my breath
with a voice inside
telling me that I couldn’t be enough
with heart so willing to prove I am
because nothing could ever compare
to the simple joy of her heart and mind
A time before I woke alone
silent and lost in the meaningless
of the games of the real world
hungover and phone calls
from a girl who want to know me this week
impressed by my honest eyes
still willing to strip me of a little meaning
and leave me with nothing to fight for
with no reason to listen if the words come again;
“I’ll love you forever”

Wow. I am a little taken aback by this write. You've laid this out so well, echos I hear, man.I think this is so very relatable. It's painful in it's total lonliness and denial. It just moved me, took me back...I don't know. Penned well and I'll stop my rambling now.
Peace and hugs,
Laura |

| I really don’t know what to say because you have just about said it all. True write and I think some of us out there can relate. It is true though that you cannot know what you’re missing if you never had it…memories are powerful things. Keep on keeping on my friend. Thank you for this honest heart’s pain placed in mere words and framed in tears. |
