 Let me explain…

 

When the love you felt for

me set you free

then loving you back was the

way it should be.

But now when being together

causes you pain

if I still love you then I must

be insane.

We once felt the same about

being whole

in each other we had found the

mate to our soul.

Now my soul is missing a

very large part

and the pain it feels cuts deep

in my heart.

Why’s it so hard for you to see

how I feel

when the love we  had was

strong and real?

YOU changed and decided that we

weren’t to be

that doesn’t change how much you

mean to me.

 I was in love with my

 I was in love with my ex-wife since we were 12.  Our marriage lasted 25 years until one day she told me she didn't love me like she once did. I have several poems I wrote during my grieving period.  This was one of them.  Thanks for your comments.
