You caught my attention right from the start;It wasn't long before you captured my heart;Years later, we've been through so very much;We've not had it easy, we've had it quite rough;We've both been stubborn; there's no doubt;Until recently it seemed we could work it out;No matter the depth of my feelings for you,If you don't feel as deeply, there's not much I can do;There's a distance between us like never before;No matte...

We had a connection from the start; You stirred the embers in my heart;The longing I'd buried deep inside,I no longer felt the need to hide;But alas, we were not meant to be;so I gave you up and set you free;We both moved on and went our way;Tho' I've thought of you since that day;I've sat and pondered now and then,what would happen if we met again;The answer to this I shall not know;For I closed my heart when I let you g...

You were the sun that burned my skin because I trusted once again;Your words were like stars that fell from the sky, Only you know how often you uttered a lie;With your smooth talk and promises, you had me believing;Though I realized too late you were only deceiving;But I can't really blame you; I should have seen from the start,You were only an actor, playing a part;When you spoke of the future, I did not readily see;Tha...

Broken heart yet again, same old lies with a different spin;Hopes and dreams kept on hold, after all that time it grew old;To think I'd loved you all those years, pushed aside all my fears;Of never having your love returned, another painful lesson learned. 

Two souls in sync, two hearts entwinedin a song of bliss;To have, to hold to always knowthat love could be like this;To share all thoughts, hopes and dreamswith the one you love;To have faithful trust and commitmentis a rare gift from above.

When you're pregnant you repeat the same cliche over and over. I don't care if it's a boy or girl, I just want a healthy baby. A cliche, but a true one. Luckily my first son was born healthy. Son number two encountered some problems on the way into the world. Thankfully they were managed and we got to take him home.At first all appeared fine. After a few years some symptoms began to emerge. He looked like the poster child...

Every time you’re mean to meOr when you let me downIn my head I hear a "dink"A hollow metal sound Not the clear ring of a bellOr soothing music chimeNor the striking of a clockMarking out the time "Dink" is disappointmentLead slug in the machineLanding in the coin returnWorthless to redeem The sound of muffled guitar stringsTheir music clipped and flatHopes and dreams that tumbled downA "dink" is all of that Perhaps my ex...

This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Build a bridge with crumbling bricksAnd fall into the depths below.Ask a token of an ancient princessAnd watch the moths fly from her scarf.Bake the bread of welcoming with weevil-ridden flourAnd bring it freshly spoiled from the oven.Feed the sparrows an empty worm skinAnd watch them flutter away with empty bellies.Put some flo...
