Life offered us so much we had so much to take. <br />We wanted it all. <br />We were afraid to let go. <br />You pulled me into you and we were one then you pushed me away and we weren’t even two. <br />Love wanted to fight my heart never gave up hope. <br />You promised forever but forever is too short. <br />I still think of you when I am wide awake and I dream of you Somewhere within my dreams where I will never let go of you. <br />Forever I will hold your hand. <br />You loved me and I loved you back but you took it all away. <br />Love was just a game to you but to me it was my life it was our life. <br />You threw it all away the day she walked into your life the day both of you walked over my heart crushing it like a flower cast by the roadside. <br />You hurt me so bad and so deep. <br />For this I will never forgive you. <br />Told you never to take me for granted but you didn’t listen <br />I shouted and screamed I whispered and in moments of silence I spoke to your heart but you didn’t hear. <br />You shut me out and now you hold open the door……too late….was just a matter of time….i am now awake.. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Amongst the tears I learnt to live <br />Amongst the harsh words I learnt to breathe <br />Amongst the pain I learnt to love <br />And everything I have I learnt to give <br />Down and out at your feet I learnt to stand tall and walk once again<br /><br />Lilac Wine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/amongst-the-tears-i-have-learnt-to-live/
