OctPoWriMo 2016: Day 23: Undoubtedly



Undoubtedly

It is you who possess my heart
Undoubtedly it's you
Try though I will, I can't break free
There's nothing I can do

You promised you'd love me always
Said you'd always be mine
You broke my heart undoubtedly
There's nothing left to find

You said it was us forever
Undoubtedly you lied
Why did you ever call to me?
There's nothing left inside

Not good enough for anyone
Not good enough to keep
Always alone, undoubtedly
Wish forever to sleep

    This poem catches that profound sense of sadness and loss when someone 'undoubtedly' loves us, but then does not. I'd like to think that last line points to healing.

    How you have captured such authentic emotion. Sad lines, but nicely done.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
