Lost love

As we go through our lives we will both find and lose love. Here are a selection of poems for those times when you look back instead of forward.
Although you will often find love again, sometimes the past lays unforgotten.

Half a world away.
 
Here i am tonight
a heavy heart,
the darkest night,
like always we're apart.

The days are long,
my heartbeats gone
i'm sure if i'm breathing
waiting...for your call.

i wonder if you think of me
does your heart call out in pain?
is this really how it's meant to be?
us apart again.

i can see the prysmic rainbows
the shards upon the floor
a thousand shards of one lost love
who thinks of me no more.
 
Reverious memories
 
you're gone from my life i suppose
though this was a path we'd never have chosen,
memories of you burn my heart,
to love you, yet to be apart.

reveries of our happier times
pass over and over in my mind
your touch lingers on my skin
though years have passed between us.

you kiss still hangs upon my lips,
your heart still calls it's silent lament
retracing it's letters still branded on my heart
calling, tempting me to hurt for you again.

but those days were long ago
those dreams were never real,
the love that we once shared,
we can never again feel.

In those days of old when spring was in the air
days full of wonder, of hope, of care
we were young and foolish,
we talked with awesome pride,
but how could we guess that we'd leave those dreams behind?
 
 
Heart shaped raindrops
 
raindrops spattering my windowpane
alone i sit with you again
your in my head, your in my heart
why must we be so far apart?

your not here, your at home
so far away that's why i'm alone
i love you honey, i need you too
but i don't know what your going through.

timing's my problem, i'm wrong you see
each time i call, you don't need me
i wish you'd miss me
i wish you'd care
but you cannot, for you are there.
 
Platform reveries
 
i'm standing on the platform
staring at the train
lost in a reverie
i'm there with you again.
you standing here where i am now
me sitting on the train
you watched as i left you
though with you my heart remained
a simple kiss and a bemused hug
that's what became of our tired,worn love.
nothing to show for those years of affection
as both of our lives took different directions.
i guess they don't matter now
the why's? where from's? or even how?
our memories will live on always
in packed out stations and lonely bridleways
the light in your eyes, the sunrise at dawn
this memory will always live on.
 
Darkness sweeping in again
 
Darkness sweeping in again,
burning at the remnants of my heart
searing through my head, the pain
wishing you weren't tearing me apart.

you walk back in my life so easily
i've never read a message so queasily
understanding lost in me
friends? we'll never be.

you broke me once,
you won't again
i'm not a dunce
i'm not that lame.

i loved you once
i can no more
i'm not a dunce
i'm not your whore.

you cannot break what isn't fixed
i'll never again fall for your tricks
you mean nothing to me now
get out my life, you stupid cow.
 
Away from you
 
sitting here away from you
longing for that thing you do
wishing i could see your face
out there in that empty space.

wnadering alone in this darkness
i give you my hopes and dreams
the only things that i possess
that are worthy of your carress.

nothing can i do without you
nothing makes any sense
no dreams can i fulfill without you
no sun shall shine in my sky.
 
Left behind
 
some people leave purses
or tickets or keys
yet deep down inside
i know you've left me.

i know i could call you
to talk it all through
but would you even pick up the phone?
i don't want to be left alone.

your smile, it's gone
and so have your eyes
you've not been gone long
but i even miss your lies.

the cheating, the bullshit
i'd have them all back
replayed in my mind;
i've been left behind.
 
Goodbye sweetheart
 
what is harder than tommorrow,
is waking up without you today
wondering if your heart is still
beating in the same old way.
do you still have that smile so pretty in your eyes?
do you still dream of me and in your sleep smile?
is there still a place for me in your heart?
was i just a way to get a head start?
when you walk down the street,
do you see me in every face that you meet?
does every pretty flower remind you of me?
the same way that they all do for me.

but then i shake my head and sigh,
that is all in the past along with your lies
nothing can change for us,
no future do we have
for all those moments that we once shared
their now buried in ouur pasts.
for when the future changed us,
it wiped away all our love.
it left us weary and alone
without a place to call our own.
 
Alone
 
so there she is alone again,
sitting in the darkness,
biting back her tears
a hundred for each kiss you left.

so sitting in the darkness
thinking back just four short weeks
to times so full of love and laughter
but what has she now?

a dark lonely night full of stars
stars which taunt her breaking heart
which laugh at all those stupid romantic things she said
"look to the stars, no matter where we are the stars we share"

yup, you're still here.
