Just to have you with me
I would have done almost anything
Only a blind man could have failed
to notice the state that I was in.
^^^
The things we will do to hold on to the love and to have the one we love close to us ... hoping and praying that they will return the feeling.

Every time we met,
my heart would skip a beat
Never imagined our relationship
would end in tears and defeat.
^^^
We never do imagine that it will end... and the pain that comes along with it destroys us.

My other half is what you are to me
to know all this but still having to walk away
Is more than I can bare, because in your arms
is where I belong and where I want to stay.
^^^
This stanza is painted with tears Ingrid.
To walk away knowing that this person is all you've ever wanted ... and still all you want is heart breaking to walk away from.

On the edge of heaven
but forever on the outside looking in
I will turn away from love now,
this game at which I will never win.
^^^
The pain of losing the one we love makes us just want to give up on love altogether. Guard our hearts and put up that defensive wall so that no other can ever penetrate our hearts or thoughts.
I know that feeling all to well.

You have penned an amazing sad, heart touching read here my friend.
Thank you for sharing the whispers of your heart.

Aww dear, please don't feel like this. sometimes we just don't have what we want and sometimes people who we think are the best turn to be the worse, this is life so we should move on.

your poem was really beautiful i can sense your feelings inside it

Ingrid
What a very sad piece this is. your pain I can feel in every word.

But as time went by, we did not grow
closer but drifted further apart
The more I held on to you, the more
you closed the door to your heart.

The pain coming from this stanza is so sad. When we give so much of ourselves to the one we love and not to have those feelings returned is pure agony.

Great job!
Love Cindy

On the edge of heaven
but forever on the outside looking in
I will turn away from love now,
this game at which I will never win

Very sad end specially when coming from the one who doesnt know the meaning of 'giving up'. I am sure this is just a way of releasing and you will be on your feets again.

Lovely poem dear

all the best and take care

Ingrid,

The flow was marvelous!
The words rhymed so flawlessly.

Nice job!

I loved it because I could relate. This part was really great: But as time went by, we did not grow
closer but drifted further apart
The more I held on to you, the more
you closed the door to your heart.

It has happened to me too and because I know how it feels this poem touches me so much. I give my tears to you and this wonderful work of art.
