Love Poem: Duplicate

Duplicate

Today I come to duplicate,
The fate of the date of,
October 16, when I couldn’t spare you,
The hurt, and I soaked my shirt,
With tears, because I couldn’t spare,
Or stop your tears.

Now I fear that it’s happening again,
Sending my poor heart insane.
Because now you’re gone,
And I’m torn,
Up inside, I know I died,
When that plane took off with,
The love of my life inside.

But today brings a different fate,
Because on this date,
I can’t handle the distance,
And at this instant ,
I know I have to make my life here work,
I have to move on,
Can’t stay here holding on,
To you, knowing that if I am ever,
To grow, I gotta get through this,
Even when you I miss,
I have to let you go,
Let both our hearts grow,
And let us find,
Ones to help us find,
Feelings locked up for so long,
Tied in with yours and mine,
If I don’t I will die,
All I do is cry,
Cause I miss you,
And it’s not supposed to hurt so much,
But just the fact that I can’t touch,
Your face or feel your embrace,
And I long for such,
Leaving me crushed,
Under the weight,
Of my dying fate,
Back to this date,
Now I tell you that I plan,
To move on,
And find someone closer to home,
Someone to stop my heart’s wondering roam.
