Lies,
U kept me in the dark.
As time flies,
The more i'm losing these sparks,
So many times have i told u,
But in the end i'm a fool.
U have left me for her,
And i still stayed to be heard,
Our love faded,
And tears were shed,
She could never love u the why i want to,
But it's the end of these i love yous,
U left, i break
U left, i died
U left, i cried
I just want ur happy ending,
but greed had taken over my wishing,
I want u
To hold u as u sleep
And embrace u as u break
Now all thats left r shattered pieces of something used to be whole
It was u who filled the empty space i dread
Now u left and im empty once again
I lost my wish of a happy ending
I love u
u just dont know ..
How much i break for u
i want u back in my arms
Leave that girl who stole u from me
Ur heart is mine
She wont ever love u like i do
My dear love
fix my broken heart
and break it once and for all
@nothingbutsilence, this poem expresses so much heartfelt human pain. I hear you. (been there done that)
Far between these hidden thoughts,
I long to call, to be caught
In your trap, in your snare,
To look deep into your kind eternal glare.
You made me strong, you made me believe,
You made me do what I could never conceive,
The time we spent, the laughs we had.
Just now I realise it was just a fad.
We may stay friends, we may stay strong,
But your face will always be the red hot prong
I want you to stay, I don't want to forget
I dread goodbyes, this Russian roulette,
Today however that chapter has closed.
I beg, please don't stay enclosed.
@AndrewBPayn The poems you have shared here are beautiful, and moving. Thank you. I truly hope you continue to share more of your work here.
Thank you so much, it means a lot to hear things like that. Thank you :)
@AndrewBPayn You are welcome, and I meant every word of it 
Thoughts ...
Feelings ...
Always nice to put them
Somewhere
Where no one
Knows you ...
and no one
will judge.
@iwillbefine,
This is beautiful!. And so SO TRUE.
I love that it's true as well about the 1-1 chats with listeners, and true about the forum posts. That's one of the great things that makes 7 Cups of Tea so helpful -- it's anonymous and confidential. 
I will be fine.
I will be just fine . . .
I can feel it in my bones . . .
Every road has its end . . .
@iwillbefine
I love this poem.
I love its simplicity
I love its hope for the future. (At first, I thought the statement "I am fine" was going to be meant ironically, but then it turned out to be filled with HOPE! (I'm a diehard Pollyanna and adore a poem with a positive theme.)
Uh-Oh.
Wait a minute. Sometimes the reader's interpretation . . . is different from the meaning intended by the poet.
Hmmmm, I was thinking along the lines of Shakespeare's Sonnet 30 ("All losses are restored, and sorrows end.")
But maybe the poet intended a different "end." Could be . . . .
Anyway, I'm a big fan of this simple, spare style. Love it!
Should i stay or should i go ... i wanna share ... but then i rather not.
Dear @iwillbefine,
Oh, please visit often! Pleeeeeease!!
Your poems are a delight, and so are you. 
Thank you for sharing your poetry and your self with us.
Keep smiling.
Keep smiling i said to myself . . .
Yeah, keep smiling
like an idiot . . . .
@midniteAngel, have I told you lately how WONDERFUL YOU ARE?!
I love how positive and fun you are here!
@Annie and have I told you how amazing you are? You're beyond fabulous, a true inspiration for all of us.
Let my cries of war be deafening
And the mere sight of my unceasing anguish
Set fire to your eyes
For I shouted and I painted
For all to hear and see
Yet you didn't hear
You didn't see
No canvas will portray my crusade
No lute shall bring forth the ballad of this war
The cosmos will not be stirred or marked
By the melancholy of one
Oh, my lieutenants
You've proven to be true
Yet though I hoped my despair
Would ever live on
Through your remembrance
I now understand that you too
Will forget
For one of you will leech to virgin sorrow
Whilst the other keeps on dancing
Oh, my apologies, I just wanted it to be red, not huge...
I love it.
@Overdrive, I fixed the font for you.
And I must say, you knocked this one out of the park!
It's both heartfelt and stylish.
It has an amazing persona, strong and brave and noble.
It has grandeur and gravitas. It's like one of the Romans or Greeks or Trojans is speaking in a classic play. It's like Henry exhorting his men in HENRY V. It's just plain amazing.
I adore it.
@NewRomantic677 @Annie : Thank you for your kind words ; always delightful to reach someone with mere words :) Thanks for editing the lay-out as well
"Forget."
I'm behind a closed door
livid.
i find myself feeling
A creeping
Crawling
Sense of disappointment
Dissatisfaction
Angry at myself
For my mind's overreactions.
But I look in the calendar and start to regret
The day I knew that you would
forget.
Love this one as well!
@Lilylistens @Overdrive thanks guys, I appreciate it :)
@NewRomantic677, ME THREE!! This is fantastic!
@NewRomantic677 I really enjoyed "Forget." Thank you for sharing it here. I truly hope to read more of your work here, too.
