"A Poem To You"

@Uootem

My poet inside is distended with emotion,
    for he feels the feelings that I can't tell you to your face,
he knows the truth of how so very much have I loved you,
    so I ask him to write a poem in it's place.

Each night I try again to sleep without the dreaming,
    but all I can do is lie here knowing that "we" are through,
my heart is so tattered inside, tonight the poet could die
    and there would be no way for me to continue remembering you.

My hopes, dreams, and pleasant thoughts, all have faded away,
    could everything be any different for me from now,
there is no comfort of love as I struggle with life each day.
    since i can no longer rely on the hope that we will be together again somehow.

I used to love you so effortlessly, but then you disappeared,
    when you left you took my heart, now all is emptiness.
i fear to trust and love again, to be caught in love's cruel trap,
    only to be torn in the end, my heart drowning in hopelessness.

But wait, I say to the poet as he turns to leave forever
    someday I hope to love again, someone who's love will be true,
and there will be many wonderful emotions to write
    but for now I can't help wonder, why that someone wasn't you.
