Memo To An Ex

You left me at the altar
Or a least it seemed that way
There I was tear soaked
Cussing out the guests
As they offered their apologies
You on the other hand
Snuck off with the china
And mixed up some jack and coke's
in the champagne flutes
while you played poker with your buddies
So while we are on this fictitious day
It might as well be known
You left me standing in regret
waiting for resolve
bu sunrise came and sunrise went
day in and day out
You pushed me farther and farther away
With each opening of your mouth
Your words hurt but silence burns
Slicing me to the core
Till one day I broke
I couldn't take it anymore
For someone new had been built
Not the little girl you had left hehind
a woman was standing in her shoes
one of the very best kind
see the pain had lifted
and my heart does fly
with this I say goodbye
and thank you
thank you for making me into
the person I want to be
do what yuo need to do
I'll am fine
I'll make it without you.

Inevitable Conclusion To Opening Your Heart

I've decided to add some some of my poetry so here it is.

Inevitable Conclusion To Opening Your Heart

I held on
For so long
To the thin little thread
called hope
my fingers grasped it
it an awkward fashion
and bent until they almost broke
in fact they are still sore
from the strain of disillusion
my fingers will healfaster than my heart
which aches with
a seemingly unending ache
the desperation that I felt
to amend the present
and to cling to the past
and to put off the future
I fell short
as any mortal would
time caught me
and moved me on
and out
here I am
wrapped
in a reality
harder than a dream
yet softer than a nightmare
twisted and twisting
wishing and wished
stuck
opposite
moving
slowly
go
now.....
