Broken Dreams

I wanted you to love me,
To hold me in your heart,
The words I wanted most to hear,
Were, “we will never part.”

I wanted you to kiss me,
Your arms around me tight,
To be with me, each hour, each day,
Until each day was night,

I wanted you to touch me,
As only you could do,
A thrill that I cannot explain,
That comes from only you.

I wanted us to be as one,
From this day, evermore,
But all my hopes and dreams were gone,
When you walked out the door.

I watched, I hoped, I prayed that you,
Would turn, to question, “why”?
Now you are gone, I am alone,
And I will surely die.

Each day I wait, with hungry heart,
With aching arms for you,
Each day, I die a little more,
My love, for you, still true.

Ron,

you have captured the dull throb then ache of love's leaving. As always, so very measured yet so easily read.

Jerry,

Thanks once again for reading and responding...... Though I have been happily married for a great many years I do like to write poems of this nature. And, I write a lot of them. I love trying to get into the heart and mind of others and feel what they are feeling. When I was working, (retired now) I used to listen to individuals at work, especially the younger ones, and I would try to feel what they feel so I could put some rhyme with it. Again, Jerry, thank you for your time.

Dear Ron,

This is so heartfelt and I wonder how many have lived this very poem. It is sad and yet the end is so full of undying hope. Beautifully crafted and executed as usual from you. I could feel the longing and I actually said to myself that I hope his love returns. Awesome write Ron!

PaintedDiary,

Thank you for responding to Broken Dreams. I guess there are two ways of looking at a lost love like this. While you ache for the return of that love, later you may realize it was not meant to be. That one was a part of my past and there she remains. In the past. Again, thank you.

Ron
