My fresh start didn’t begin when she broke my heart. <br />I know it wasn’t when I slept alone the first night. <br />All hopes were lost my dreams were broken. <br />I gave up on life for unknown reason. <br /> <br />I searched my soul for reason for rhyme. <br />How will I withstand this test of time? <br />With a heavy heart I stand alone. <br />Like a dead man my soul was gone. <br /> <br />All I could do was lie in my bed of sorrow and cry. <br />I wallowed in self pity and not once did I dry my eyes. <br />Oh how I hated life, I was dead inside. <br /> <br />What did I do wrong? <br />Why am I the one that has to suffer? <br />Where was her heart when mine was offered? <br />When did she give up I hadn’t noticed? <br />She crushed me dang it! ! ! Just like all the others. <br /> <br />Like a sweet summers breeze hope blows in. <br />I’m finding new reason to try again. <br />Like a sunrise in early morning my spirits are lifted. <br />My heart fills with warmth again, oh how I missed it. <br /> <br />Like a heaven sent gift you were sent to me. <br />You stole away the hurt and the pain. <br />My fresh start began on this day. <br />All along I just needed you to find my way.<br /><br />Gerald Hamilton Jr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fresh-start-5/
