Crushed

Every night you haunt me

I see your face, your eyes intrude

My dreams aren’t what they used to me

No substance only mood

Once I held you, once you cared

But that was a long time ago

Innocence and veins were bared

But you crushed me like an eager foe

It’s a taunt, a cruel joke or jest

It’s a tear that never falls

It’s a nightmare, a scary thing at best

When you start tearing down those walls

And when I dream, my arms surround you

And in my sleep you show regret

Then I wake, my world is still blue

But I haven’t learned my lesson yet

My eyes are heavy, I’m losing sleep

Inside my mind your face it keeps

I once loved that about you long ago

But you crushed me like an eager foe

A word of advice to those of you who can relate to this poem.  Let it go.  I know its not an easy thing and that some days it may seem damn near impossible, but do what it takes... Don't pine over a love you lost and will never be again...
