falling out of love

Can someone fall out of love?
After loving another for so many years.
Can reality suddenly become untrue,
And dreams turn to something you hadn’t thought of.
Can someone fall out of love?
Feelings once so obvious seem to become unclear.
Hatred erases everything you ever knew.
A beautiful memory slowly disappears.
Can someone fall out of love?
Not having to worry about shedding more tears.
A past full of happiness begins to undo,
love and life become part of someone’s biggest fear.
Can someone fall out of love?
And forget a beloved they once held so dear?
The way two people fall in love; knowing it’s true,
It seems that I am falling out of love with you.

my eager heart.

My eager heart
Is a rose
Trapped
In a yellow-tinged vase
Water seeping
Out of transparency
Sliding, or rather
Slithering
Like a serpent
Filled with lusty greed
No matter
What the porcelain cracks
Absorb the moisture
Pitiful
In its crimson desire
It is a love
Domestic
In all its evaporating glory
Eager is my heart
To do it’s will

When Love Dies

Billy Arends

When love dies,
It ceases to exist.
And the flame that used to be,
Ceases to persist

It feels like a wound that won’t stop bleeding,
Like it’s your last breath you're about to take,
And it feels like your soul’s watching,
And all you can do is pray you wake.

When love dies,
It’s like everything slows down to a stop
The tears that came rolling down your cheeks
Are taking ages to drop

To the cold tiled floor
I fell onto my knees,
It felt as if the light followed her shadow,
As she slammed closed the door…

Love died,
I know this because my soul died too.
And it was hurting as much
As all the pain I put her through.

When love died
I ceased to exist
The only thing that kept us together...
Ceased to persist.

A Shattered Heart

Some say a broken heart is like a shattered vase

Fragile pieces scattered all over the place.

The shattered pieces of broken glass seem to go everywhere

Unlike the pieces of a broken heart that seem to pierce your soul.

With faith and hope you try to mend the broken heart

Unlike the vase it cannot be so easily replaced.

It takes a while to mend it and then you lock it up

You hide the key and wait to see if someone can be found

A special person who will use the key to unlock the heart

A unique person who will handle the heart with gentle hands,

Who can be honest, truthful and handle it with care.

My heart and I wonder is there really that kind of person out there.

The loss of a lover

The loss of a lover, whether because they have passed on or for any other reason is a heartbreaking experience. Some never fully recover. There might always be a small place in your heart that holds the pain of this experience. This is natural and fine. Even when you find another person to love, it is OK to hold a place for the lover that has passed. You shared something profound together. The previous relationship that you had is not like your new relationship. Every relationship is unique and should be allowed a place in your heart.

LOVER vs BESTFRIEND

I met him and he met me,
we shared our common thoughts,
spent most of our time together,
and we then learned to love each other.

There it was,
relationship started to bloom,
we laughed together,
and hugged each other in times of trouble.

But every time he and I aren't in good terms,
he is crying,

It’s Sad…

It’s sad how people are here,
But tomorrow they’re not,
It’s sad how friendships don’t last,
And you don’t see what you’ve got.

It’s sad how people you know,
Became people you knew,
It’s sad how some don’t grow,
And others already grew.

It’s sad how people don’t think,
And make that big mistake,
It’s sad how your best friend,
Turns out to be someone so fake…

Relationships

Relationships are tough,
But we don’t ask why,
And we don’t question,
The unbearable tie.

Relationships are cold,
But we let them be,
And we don’t change it,
We are too blind to see.

Relationships are sad,
But it’s just not right,
And we think its fine,
When no one wants to fight.

Relationships are hard,
But they shouldn’t be,
And I’ve discovered,
They are just not for me!

how does one say "i love you"?

sometimes i hate my pessimism
it results in hesitism
and i get caught in a circle
that circulates through my mind
i take a breath and concentrate
make sure my emotions don't instigate
a decision i might regret
or suffer for down the line

why do my words pause with hesitation
is it my overactive imagination
that constant fear of the future
and what will happen to me
i'm uncomfortable having so much emotion
and i don't know where i got that notion
why can't it be more simple
it's my only insecurity

sometimes i feel so inundated
is it really that complicated
of course it isn't
but i've created a monster in my mind
happiness is all that matters
i say nice things not just to flatter you
you know i mean it
you're someone not easy to find

so where do all these thoughts leave me
i'm not sure but in the end i'm happy
happy to be the one
to share these thoughts with you
i hope my doubts don't complicate things
nor go overboard and start to cling
but everything will be fine
because you feel the same way too

will i ever love again.

will i ever love again
a question on my mind
will i ever love another
like you in this life

if it was meant to be it'll happen
this is what i am told
but i fear i won't find another
and will die alone

will i ever love again
i really miss you now
will i ever love again
thinking about it just brings me down

i wake up at night
with sweat in my eyes
my heart starts pounding
and i begin to cry

well it's better to have loved
and i still have my memories
they'll always make me happy
and set my heart at ease

thought it was love.

I thought it was love
it was just bad luck
and i came to the conclusion
my love life really sucks
i'm not sure of my problem
it's gotta be me
maybe i'm too afraid
to face reality

i thought it was love
just my hormones kickin'
i look back at yesterday
oh what was i thinking

my fingers no longer count
the mistakes i have made
tears labeled why
seemed to end my day

and a beautiful girl
enters the room
her caring smile
ends my gloom
i get some affection
no longer am i broken hearted
it seems the cycle was just restarted
