Oh, How Love Hurts
 
 
Once I had her.
Holding her close to me, I felt secure.
 
Having to let go, was almost more than I could bear.
Obviously, I had too.
Wondering why it couldn’t have been different, I still ache for your touch.
 
Losing you was the hardest thing I ever did.
Only you could touch the unseen parts I never offered anyone else.
Voracious in our passion; I never wanted it to end.
Every time I think of you, I can’t help but wish things had been different.
 
Hating you was never an option.
Usually I can walk away with no doubts, or regrets.
Rising through the pain; I still admit my love for you.
Though keeping you was just a dream, I still wanted too.
Someday I hope to look back without hurting; without wanting you.

Thank you for reading my work. I deeply appreciate the positive feedback.

It's really beautiful, a decleration of feeling, very sad and touching. Maybe one day you will be able to look back.

I'm just exorcising my inner demons. Thank you for the kind words.

I love the last 2 lines of this poem, Kevin. The wistfulness these lines express is very touching, and to me they perfectly describe what it's like losing someone you truly cared about. I thought this was a wonderfully sad and emotional poem.

Stephanee :)
