I’m Sorry....

in the dark.. as morning approached
your words burned deep into my heart
and stole the  breath from my lips

but above all else .........I still needed you
I wanted the tenderness of your arms
to hold me close and protect me
from the madness of those words
that you spoke to me..... just now
......words that now consume and dull my mind.

"you are not my hearts desire"

....the meaning lies heavy on my soul
and invades my sleepless nights
tormenting all that I hold dear
again I  cringe as your words continue to flow
endlessly.....uncomprehendingly......ceaselessly thru my brain
my thoughts grow heavy and flushed
as the sharp edge of these words
cut to the very core of my heart
and I bleed
from my soul
......my spirit

disappointment raged within me
as you said that you and I
.........could never be
not now.....
   not ever.....nor forever

you quoted a thousand reasons of discontent
but you never said..... that you didn't love me.
just....... that we could never be.

I wept and revealed to you
the frail remnants of my only dream
the fears of my insecurity turned against me
I felt ugly to your eyes
but you did not waver,
then you said "i'm sorry" .........and it crushed my spirit

as you slowly slipped from the  grasp of my love
you looked back to touch my soul
.............one last time........
and with  heavy heart I watched you turn to leave
I could not even say goodbye.
I could only watch you walk out of my life
