Love Poem: Alone
Crystal Cross Avatar
Written by: Crystal Cross

Alone

Meeting you just felt so right
We matched
Like cookies and cream
Sparks flew
Bliss summed up in a kiss
Who said love at first sight
Was only a myth?

But emotional love can't always hold water
We began to fight
Things got heated
Chaise words,
Common sense, not heeded
Old wounds, thought to have healed
Now split wide open

Neither of us understood what went wrong
We finally parted ways,
You stormed out leaving me
You said it was to "take a break"
But I knew better
I want to pick up where we left off
Talk it out
Fix what was bruised and battered
But it wasn't destined to be

I filled my time with mindless things
The pain of losing you
Blazing through me like a raging fire
Picking up the shards
Of my destroyed protective shield
To now erect 
Around my heart again
Nothing seemed to erase my sorrow
Beginning to walk
Along through life again
Alone
