Lost Love Poem by Tiff Murphy

In the darkest of the hours I awake,
To the sound of rain dripping off the window panes,
My head is hung,
My heart is heavy,
This pain I cannot escape as the tears drip down my face,
By now your name should have faded from my lips,
You should have been long forgotten but your memory will not fade,
I cannot breath,
I cannot scream,
These thoughts should die with me to my grave,
I cannot comprehend the events that led me to this state of mind,
Was it all a game,
Perhaps it's my curse to suffer here in silence without the one that used to put a smile upon this face,
No one else on this earth could ever take your place,
For this I am sure,
As sure as the sun may set tomorrow the clouds will hang over my head,
I never knew how much I'd miss your embrace,
Whispering in the twilight hours how much you adored and would never leave me at your own will,
Was it all a lie?
Was it all secrets that you kept trapped inside?
Our love was the burning end of the candle,
The flames grew stronger with a small wisp of the wind,
Did you forget to care?
Did you forget how to let me near?
How did you fall out of love with me and in with another,
How did she take my place so easily?
As dawn draws near I wander so many things,
The words that flew off your lips,
The touches from your finger tips,
Were they lies,
Was I betrayed by another man?
I thought we were both just lost souls,
Clinging to each other,
You were my life line,
A song yet to be sung,
A star that shined so much brighter then all of the others,
So why am I laying here bitter with your name pressed tight against my lips,
I cannot forget,
I cannot make you disappear,
Why does this have to be such sorrow?
Where does this pain end and when does another kind begin,
The pen drops from my finger tips as the wound goes deeper into my heart,
Into my soul,
As I realize this isn't any sort of fairy tale land that I want to be in,
And the sobs keep coming from deep within,
I can't stop them anymore,
The truth's drawing too near,
The watchful eyes of those around me know but haven't said,
The reason your really not here,
Is neither my fault nor your own?
But a trick of fate that stopped your heart from beating for me,
And this alone is the reason why you don't love me anymore.
