My Love is Dust
For I am not perfect in any way
I fear you will break my heart again
So my love for you, I dare not say
I know in my heart that it's over
And I know we're only friends
But I wish I could figure out
How to make you love me again
But I know it will never happen
I couldn't compete, so I departed
You crushed my spirit, wounded my soul
And left me brokenhearted.
My love for you, I dare not breathe it
For it hurts my heart to say
The man I fell mad in love with
Slowly pushed me away
I miss the man that I once knew
That guy that's hidden inside of you
That person died long ago
The one I love and I miss so.
I may still love you but I will learn
In the end I will get burned
Because what is love- only dust
Without loyalty and trust.

Wow! Emotional and heartfelt. Very good free flowing emotions
Lovely, very nice. Looking forward to reading more.
Very good. I understand this completely - especially the part about having a crushed spirit. I know that feeling all too well.
This is a very touching poem. If it is based on personal experience then I am sorry to hear of your relationship difficulties.
