Love Poem: John Patrick Robbins

John Patrick Robbins

Sad soul broken and lost.
Used so easily abused forgotten.
And tossed.

I recall the man so very few will ever know.
The man behind the words.
A tree amoungst a forrest that  still found the
courage to grow.

We both found comfort in that  far off place.
They tried to to destroy  you.
Pain so easily hidden behind such a gentle  face.

We did part in such a bitter way.
Sometimes even the most well intended 
love will betray.

I watched you break knowing I was the cause.
Like some doomed love story.
Without a rewind or pause.

You are that one man that does not exist.
A perfect heart.
And though I try to erase your memory
does presist.

I question how could I hurt somone as gentle as you.
But time only  increases the mystery.
Of wounds that were old that  still bleed new.

I wish only to reach out  and tell you why.
But my words become trapped.
As so I fail everytime I try.

And in the park amoungst the memories and  singing
birds.
Often I recall that gentle soul.
For i did know the man behind the words
