'LOST LOVE' - #SlamPoetry
3am and, as sleep is intent in not visiting again tonight, I’m writing a poem about the love I recently lost…

Your smile is my favourite sight to see
Your arms are my favourite place to be
When I’m with you I finally believe
The the world’s not as dark as it seems to be
Your smile is infectious
Your smell is a drug
Your eyes are like beautiful stars from above
You know this is real
You know this is love
But all I can give you just isn’t enough
I’m sorry but I warned you right from the start
That loving me was incredibly hard
And still you let me give you my heart
And though you promised you wouldn’t, you tore it apart
I wish we could just go back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
Love is undeniably the most beautiful thing I’ve known
But it is also surprisingly the hardest thing I’ve known
One moment I had my soul mate
The next I was completely alone
I wonder were you that unhappy?
Well if you were it didn’t show
We promised forever and I don’t regret a day
Of the things that we said or the memories made
But there’s one more thing so precious I gave
Can I trust you to keep it, sacred and safe
In your heart, in your mind “forever and always”?
I know in my heart, there’s nobody else
I’d ever consider giving myself
It’s you and only you that I see
My one true love
My husband to be
Are you scared that I loved you just because I was lonely?
Never. I fell for you my darling because we are meant to be
You know it, you do, I see it in your eyes
When our bodies are together, everything feels right
Don’t shut us out
Don’t say that it’s wrong
You know in your gut where you truly belong
You promised me so many things oh so many times
Right up until the moment you left…so what, was that all a lie?
With you I was finally happy for the first time in my life
I can’t believe I trusted you when you said you’d always be mine
And yet, through it all I still love you the same
Don’t understand? Let me explain
Despite all the heartbreak
Despite all the pain
I know that no future love will ever be the same
If I had the choice I’d do it all over again
Every kiss and conversation
Infecting my brain
As much as I try to push them away
They always come back to me, stronger each day
And I know that I’ll never love anyone this way
Still think you’re worthless?
Please, think again
The nights are the hardest
I’m miss having you here
Reaching out for me and pulling me near
You held me so tight like you were scared I’d disappear
But I’ll tell you again you had nothing to fear
I’d never leave you
I thought that much was clear
What was it that we said to each other my dear?
I love you
I love you more
I love you more than that
I love you most
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you’ll ever know
No
I guess it’s all pretty meaningless now
You’re moving on but I just don’t get how?
The life we were building, you tore it all down
In a matter of hours
You completely skipped town
