her
if this must end,
then, i am most thankful to The Most High above,
for never in my life had i felt such a God-given love.
one born of need, raised in deep desire,
a single spark became a raging fire.
if this must end; i understand,
how can a love like ours stand a chance?
from fizzle to flame,
from worry to blame,
desperate souls seeking the same.
i guess there is more i could have done.
should have known without a doubt ...
you were the one.
if this must end, if i must go,
there is but one thing i want you to know.
i will never be too far away to hear your cries.
i will always be near; standing by.
silently applauding when it's all said and done,
the man you are, the man you've become.
him
if this must end,
then, it must end.
but know in your heart that you have earned a friend.
as your lover, hopefully, i was like no other.
apologies due for whatever pain caused,
i am not perfect; we all have flaws.
i offer no rebuttal,
only wonder if you find within your heart to forgive me for all the trouble.
i never expected us to fall in love as deeply as we did,
guess our inner beings could no longer remain hidden.
i appreciated everything you meant to me,
for one moment in time it felt like we were meant to be.
i am thankful more than i could ever show,
but if it must end,
if i must go,
there is but one thing i want you to know.
you are the definition of a woman, as intended
and never allow any man to tell you differently.

I love it, two different perspectives on the same matter of the heart. I just came to an end and we didn't see it eye to eye, women and men are so different
Very nice.
Lovely. This made me love poetry agian.
One of the very reasons I am a lover of words. Put them together and you get this.
@Denise
WHEN a Man and a Woman aren't on the SAME PLATEAU regarding Their Inner Feelings they ARE but We're not SO DIFFERENT just for the sake of Being Different Though...
MOST Women nowadayz just thrive on Being Difficult and Don't EVEN REALIZE IT (Word) I Mean I can understand FEMALES who haven't quite found their way yet being THAT WAY but a Full-Grown Emotionally Stable WOMAN being that way is Quite Confusing to ALOT OF MEN
Btw I LUV THIS Though Bruh
loved it!
Very nice, Don!
very nice collaboration!!
I was surprised to see this. A great collaberation indeed and in reading it again i couldn't help but feel the words expressed as if it was the first time. Someone once told me that "love isn't love until it's passed over". Didn't quite understand at the time what that meant, but maybe i do now.
New year, new dope.
Masterfully written.
Do you have a poem for "I Don't Want it to End?" I am going through it right now and am having a hard time letting go of someone I love (who doesn't love me back). The shit is killing me. These words you've written are beautiful. I am dying for something that will put my heart at ease. (Sorry for the confession).
"A Lover's Lost Can Heal Your VERY Soul"
I can survive the coldest of winters
If I had the warmth of your heart-n-soul
I can make it through the hottest of summers
If I had your devotion and dedication to hold
But this pain that I feel is so very hurtful
And it's the heartache that ruins my body-n-mind
I don't want to lose what we've strive to be so true
But I need-n-cherish my sanity, my heart and my time
WOW
I like this so much. Very good.
I love it!!
@Sunny Thank you.
@Daij Thanks for the kind words. Very meaningful prose.
@ELove One of those deals where you realize that certain people entered and exited your life at the right time for a reason that defines itself in due time. And no hard feelings, in the end.
@Neith Oh you already know that I've been there in that particular situation, myself. I will write a poem and post before the week is out. Be strong, my friend.
@MrTramuel Thanks for the kind words.
@Diane Yep. Same here. I thought it was the right time to bring to light a poem and message that holds dear to my heart. Definitely a strong collaboration. Literally. Thank you. Good times.
@Daisy Thank you.
@Val Thank you.
@LadyNgo Thank you. Me too.
@FSB You speak the truth. Something about transforming feelings into words that appear immortal.
@Journee Thank you for those kind words.
@AlishaDeFreitas Thank you Alisha. Means much.
@Denise Yes. Different, yet calming perspectives being offered.
Very nice. :) love both perspectives.
Sweet endings only to be new beginnings as friends, deeper than before with much more respect and adoration for the other. Beautiful! :-)
NOOOO!!!! I don't want it to end. That's all I was thinking reading this. Great poem and look at you. I've always loved your blog, your post etc. Hmmmm. Sweet endings. I guess. I have double standard, we can only be friends if I ended it, ha.
Go
Nice..........very very nice.
Beautifully written. I'm going to forward this to a friend.
I felt this way down deep in my soul. I've been in this exact place before...reading this made me wish, all over again, that my heart had come with me when I left. Like the above poster quoted "love isn't love until its passed over" ....I too know what that means.
Thank you for sharing this.
