GEMZ Poetry 13
Torment
The black clouds have blown in once again,
I am lost and to be found, where do I begin.
My heart is crushed, my trust is now lost,
You didn't care, how little you knew the cost.
The pieces of my heart now scattered on the floor,
to this friendship, I may have to close the door.
I never knew that such harsh, cold words,
would ever come from one I called "friend".
My pain will be hidden away from your view,
for the damage done, will never again mend.
Never before has my life come to a screeching halt,
but through your eyes, every mistake is my fault.
I never claimed, nor did I say, that I was perfect,
there are some choices that I will always regret.
Never before have I been at a loss for words,
but for my feelings, you had such little regards.
Where did I even start, to try again, to forgive,
for your words, in my head, I will always relive.
I can't stop the tears from their lonely falling,
the feeling of betrayal once more to my life calling.

Too Late
Sometimes the words you need to hear come too late,
when the chance for love is no longer in debate.
The love my heart once held, has now become hate.
to love you forever is no longer my fate.
You decided that our love wasn't worth the fight,
so now we walk quiet and alone into the night.
I look back again at what might have been,
realizing it ended, before it truly began.
Closeness we once shared is long gone and distant,
for love to die, it takes only a mere instant.
To give up on our love is a choice that we made,
taking everything good away, only the bad remained.
Taking something so precious, special and true,
tearing it to shreds, not knowing what you do.
Harsh words spoken, are like a double sided dagger,
once said, they can't be taken back, until none matter.
The love we once shared we tried to recreate,
but sometimes it truly is...too little, Too Late.

The Unknown
I look into your eyes, as a part of me dies,
I know we are ready, to say our goodbyes.
How do you walk away and leave that security,
to begin a new love, that starts with insecurity.
To trust one's heart is the hardest to do,
but with me by your side, we'll make it through.
Happiness awaits you behind the door still closed,
gather your strength, thoughts, your heart, it knows.
You fear what lies ahead, the what if's, the not knowing,
can you remain there, where your love is not showing.
I promised you that I would stay and help you along,
but somewhere in time, I have forgotten my life's song.
I promised you the moon, and the world at your feet,
but to move on, the past, you must decide to defeat.
What you thought was love, was nothing more then caring,
to move forward to true love, you must become daring.
You must make the choice that your heart desires,
to be in my life, you must jump into the fire.
Are you willing to lose a great new love, for a dead flame,
will you chase the future, or in the past you shall remain.
You know that I shall always be here whenever you need me,
but I want to know, that I can't share you,it's just not me.
You say that I am everything that you have dreamed about,
won't you move forward, to my arms, without any doubt.
Give me the chance to show you just how great I can be,
I'll show you the meaning of romance, of love, you will see.
The doubts you are holding onto are keeping us far apart,
I want to love you, to show you what's really in my heart.
