Love Poem: Anguish of Heart

Anguish of Heart

Pouring my heart out does me no good
Especially knowing I am without you
Emotions so strong as to overwhelm
Feeling as if my heart will break
And never be whole again
Love so strong it endures all else
I thought love was supposed to lift the spirit to new heights
Not plunge one into darkness and despair.
Hating myself for losing control
Allowing another night to go by with me crying myself to sleep.
When did the wall get cracks?
When did the bars start to rust?
Wanting to tell someone but scared to try
My burden to bear
My problem to solve.
I will find a way
But how will I survive?
Afraid this time my heart will not come through intact.
