"Words" - A poem about life, love, growth and experience

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Love lost is one of the most hurtful things a human being can through. Experiences with another person you love can never be taken for granted...But sometimes things have to be a certain way for a reason, even if we do not like the outcome..even if we fight for it...even if we know that things should have been different.....

"Words"

Sometimes I wonder if you'll read the words, then maybe you'll get it
How im sittin' here wishin that things were different
why did you have to put me in this position? it was fear ....
fear of the unknown, of what could possibly happen...
But look now...shit is all backwards, our love vanished like magic...
It was a long ride, I kept my belt fastened and tight...lookin' for the light
it was a long time you were lookin for a fight
And it left me feelin' like....damn, why do I even try?
and when you tell me now its different, its hard to see why
My eyes...they swell from the tears, all the years we shared
all the laughs and smiles....coupled with a lasting frown
strange how the bullshit that we go through, we pass it down
feels like my hearts been hammered down, and I wonder where im goin
If things will work out....or if im just hopin...will i still grow?
I have to....because this shit wasn't for nothin..
it really hurt sometimes to think, that I really wasnt your husband...
You are my wife, marriage meant a lot to me...
the vows I took now...just seem like hypocrisy
Assurance is what we both needed to survive this...
but theres a lot to put behind us, there's a whole new world to begin in
can't help but thinking you wanted me to leave...
I cant help but feeling like im sufferin' to breathe...
Right now thing's are split, but maybe one day they wont...
until then I have to focus on myself..and my own growth...

I write a lot of poetry about heartbreak and relationships. Non of my work is about my personal life but my followers always assume. I write songs about break ups and love. It's just what I'm good at. Great poem @rondonson

I hope this isn't something you're currently going through. I like most of us have Ben there, except it almost cost me my life, literally. I survived to find the real love of my life to whom I've been with for 21 years. Any live can bring some pain, but when it's too painful it's time to let it die.

this is definitely the current situation of my life...thank you for your words homie

You're most welcome papa! Don't let anyone EVER tear you down. You have a life to live and all you can do is your best. You'll know happiness again. Maybe you'll patch it up, or maybe you won't. One thing is sure: You will go on to find your own happiness. Pain, in any form is temporary, but in affairs of the heart there is at least many chances.

Great deep words my friend. Losing a love is the worst, filling the void left is the hardest part. Just got to keep busy and work to be the best you can be!

Are you ready for STEEMFest?!

It may be true that words can not always describe what we go through, but they sure do help us get through it, whatever it may be. We live a whole life just to find ourselves. Strong poem, loved it, really from the heart. All the best to you!
