A Poem, Love’s End

Posted byTravis J. McRoyPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , , , , , ,

This was a pretty heavy poem to write. I can’t say that I have ever been in a relationship depicted in the poem, but I can relate to the emotions of it all. We all have the relationship battles that we fight throughout our lives. In a story I wrote, two characters constantly fell in and out of love. So you’ll notice the heaviness of that aspect throughout the poem, but then it takes a turn where they come back to each other. I won’t lie; I can be an emotional writer, so I did tear up a bit writing this poem. I thought of someone that I couldn’t live without to evoke my emotions.

If you love me, let me go
Last words as we depart
Tears flow as we say we know
A love too strong to tear apart
Rip the veins of memories from my skin
We broke our hearts against our hate
As I wake to scream, just let me in
Picking up the pieces, we crumble under the weight
We both lie to maintain control
Our hate started as love
I need your touch to console
But you push me away with a shove
We breakdown because it’s loves end
But it’s our love that will transcend

Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading!

    1. Absolutely! Such hard emotionally cutting words that I felt belonged right at the beginning. Those words, I feel, helped to set the emotional tone of the poem. Thank you for the kind words! Glad you loved it. ☺🤗
