Heartbreak

When you find a love so perfect -
one that you're sure is meant to be,
one that fills up all your senses
and makes you feel complete,
one that brings contentment,
peace, and hope too -
how do you say goodbye
to the other half of you?
When you find a love so beautiful -
one that awakens all your dreams,
one that brings such happiness
that you burst at the seams -
how do you find the strength
to simply let it go?
How do you say goodbye
to the essence of your soul?

The Moon In my Sky

It comes in waves -
the grief of You.
how the heart craves
the smell too.
Some days are lighter
the mind is numb
some nights are brighter
as You shine above
a platinum disc of unblemished light.
I imagine You - me on your mind
the heart grows tight
with un-shed tears,
broken promises
and lonely years.
Most days go by
heavy as rock
the breath is a burden
and living is a shock.
You are a sliver in the sky tonight,
a faraway crescent
of quicksilver light -
now here, now gone
hiding behind clouds
teary and torn
trying your best to be rid of me
while I hold dear
every memory.
You crushed my soul
and my heart did die
but every single night
You are the Moon in my sky.
