Death Of Love -(Throwback Poem)

This was a poem I wrote years ago. I am posting this one because I received the most responses from my peers when I last posted "Death Of Love" online. Enjoy.


I took away your happiness; your sunshine has faded into a dull light.

I took away your sight, for love-you put up a strong fight.

My delight was in pleasing you, and fulfilling your every need.

But I was weak by love and you were full of it – I took it from you piece by piece,

Your heart is wrinkled now, it was neat. I was full of emotional greed.

And now it's hard for you to love, hard to trust – heart of rust – stained by scars.

And the little drops of love you still have is locked, tightly behind wall of fear –

Deep in the corner of your soul, behind huge metal security bars.

But without you I'm nothing I apologize, I watched the tears build up in your eyes.

Lady, you cried.

I said I was sorry.

I cried too.

And like a baby needs milk-I need you.


I want to give back to you what I stolen.

I give up my careless ways and like a poker game I'm folding.

I wish it was you that I was holding, instead of this damn pillow.

I've treated you like a widow.
Where you had love … now there's hate.


I want you.

I need you.

I told you.


You said, "It's too late."

I'm sorry I stole your heart.
