Loving him was the easiest thing I ever did
It was as natural as breathing
With every word, look, and moment
I loved him more
It grew until it consumed me
His image erased the pain in my past
It flooded all my dreams of the future
His voice made me strong
His smile gave me wings
His kiss left me breathless
Breathing new life into me
Loving him was the easiest thing I ever did
Realizing he could never return my love was the most painful thing I've ever been through
It was worse than a knife through my heart
With every tear, sob, and memory
It hurt all the worse
The pain shattered my heart to pieces
His face reminded me of all I'd ever lost
Turned my hopes into dust
His voice made me choke on my sadness
His smile made me ache
His eyes bore into my soul
Ripping the life from me
Realizing he could never return my love was the most painful thing I've ever been through
Remaining in his life is the hardest thing I'll ever do
Harder than moving mountains by faith
With every text, call, and moment
It becomes more difficult
It magnifies the ache inside
His image reminds me of happier times
Casts shadows on future possibilities
His voice makes me weak
His smile breaks me
His touch fills me with pain
Corroding my love to rust
Remaining in his life is the hardest thing I'll ever do

todski28almost 10 years agoAbility to convey emotional content to a reader without it coming across as a angst ridden teenager, have always enjoyed your work.
UnderYourSpellalmost 10 years agoLove the progression leading me onward, left me wanting more. Well done and thanks for the read.
Cleardaynowalmost 10 years agoEverything I said on ‘Raining Glass Hearts’ applies to this. It proves it was no fluke.
Great structure, great progression, great ‘voice’. Some nice images & phrases ‘His voice made me choke on my sadness’, ‘Casts shadows on future possibilities’ but again an awful lot of the phrases are standard at the very least – though again you manage to pull it off.
I am now really looking forward to your next poem. Keep up the good work – please.
