I can't unlove the most vital role in my life This life would have been lost without you Letting you go left me spiritless When I dream I still see you and I taking on this world together In my next life I pray we find each other Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson #Name Your Number Challenge Click here for info and to join in!

A Different Outcome

A Protected Heart
It was me that ended it.
I’m the one that turned my back.
The knowledge of your love; overwhelmed.
The fear of mine; crippling.
To give away my safeguarded heart;
unthinkable.
The lies began. I said it was for the best.
That we would never last.
I blanketed myself with the
comfort of these lies.
All the time knowing, that I was walking away
from something rare.
I turned away from love
for the security, the isolation,
of a protected
heart.

Between the Lies
You loved me, once. I loved you too. We thought our story would be different. We would beat the odds, we were sure. First we lied to ourselves, that it wouldn't happen to us. Then we lied to each other, pretending everything was alright. Finally, we lied to the world, putting on the masks. Somewhere between the lies is where my heart lived.

The Heart Does Not Forget
tickles from the stubble of your beard the smile at the corners of your mouth were your eyes the color of the sea? or were they rainy day grey? I forget the scent of your skin in the dark forgotten when your hand touched mine did my blood race? many things forgotten but, love the heart does not forget Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson *Although an older post, I like it. I hope you do too.
