My One True Love's But A Broken Heart

by Marianne - Not entered

There he stands, full of contempt
with ire in the voice he speaks
Telling me of his broken heart
of how my love has caused him weak.

He'd entered my world with a smile
and a spirit, known only as pure
Then my passion for him - though he admired
induced pain, he can no longer endure.

I found there were no words, no dreams
that I could not, in him confide
Now he's my lover, my friend no longer
despite everything I have tried.

I now fear the hatred he holds for me
knowing that my love took its' toll
For, he has stolen not, but rather had taken
what I had offered from the core of my soul.

And ashamed I feel, for what I have done
for destroying the goodness in him
Without him in my future - even as a friend
my happiness can only seem grim.

My one true love's but a broken heart
and for the sorrow I've caused him - I am ill
For, I hope he can hear my heart when it says
as of this day, I love him...still.
