Commercial Breaks In A Blog????

I have also decided that I will enter the poems and verse that I have dumped so much emotion and pain into so that I no longer have to locate them when I want. This one was hanging on the wall nearest to me at the computer so it is my first "victim." ;-)

Love As It Ends

I think the price is the peace within

I had given it up to be with him

He doesn't notice the crumbling walls

He hasn't walked the tattered halls

All that once stood inside my heart

My love, my hope, my happiness, my pride

He blindly charges ahead to be first

He's the one that matters not the one that hurts

He hasn't noticed what he's left behind

I doubt it will ever cross his mind

He only cares that he can place the blame on me

For all of the troubles and all of the pain

I've no place to run to, no place to hide

If only I could just stay here inside

I could spend my days all snuggled and warm

And the nights I could wander about until dawn

No one would see me no one would hear

But that's how it is now whenever he's near

This torture surrounds me, it won't go away

I try and try but fail everday

To make him acknowldege that I, just as him

Have needs that surface from deep under my skin

My heart will soon shatter, it won't carry on

It cannot continue, it's starved far too long

I wonder if he'll notice when the time comes

That the warmth and the strength I provided are gone?

His appetite and need are always quite large

So he must find plenty or soon he would starve

He's his first concern, he's the one who counts

He just needs anothers heart to draw the life out

With that thought in mind I prepare for the death

Of my heart that once was a bottomless pit

Of all things wondrous and all things rare

All of the things two hearts in love share

This is now history, it stands still in time

I had a heartful of love, reason and rhyme

Those days are gone and my days will now end

As I've given the last of my love for him.
