Sad Love Poem ~
No Regrets On My Part
by Maria H

What can I say?
We had a few laughs along the way?
I shared more fantasies with you
Than words
Than glance
Than touch
Than anything
So what do I say?

I don't hate you
I never really could
I always truly, wholeheartedly, unrepentantly loved you
Although I never really should
Because of you
I wear my heart on a brick wall
Tears come before all chuckles
Lies come before introductions
Shut down I am
Under lock and key
But I forgive all you've done to me

You never call, never write
Don't even look at my house when you walk by
You never wave, never smile
Never call out once in a while
Never walk my way
Never glance at my face
Never brush up against me
Never give a full blown hug
Never look into my eyes like I did yours
And never even tried of course
So what do I say?

I can't say sorry
All apologies belong to you
All sadness I give to you
Keep my love
And my pain
Spread my old tears like the rain
Sweep up the broken pieces of my old heart
And all the ripped paper pieces
With your initials scribbled
And your biographies
Keep the keepsakes
For your own time
And the dwellings on what could've been
Because I'm done holding on to burdens I cannot bare
They are your load now
All on your own

I will not blame myself in the morning's dawn
When every memory of us is gone
Because with him I've become so strong
Now there's no turning back
I can never go back
So this is what I say
Keep the sorrow
And polite rejections
Excuses that only feel like dejections
Because I take no claim on my part
I have no regrets on my part
I gave all of my heart
I gave you all of my heart.
