This one's about a year old...but it somehow still fits today.

Over.

It kills me
To feel you change your mind
Change the course of this strange rhyme
We've created between us

Yet you remain cool and calculated
Taking on a clinical air
In this tangle of love
Devoid of objectivity

And so I must have done my part
Lifted you up onto your feet again
Now able to walk unaided
No longer needing the crutch

You refuse to feel guilt
For your search
Yet I should feel ashamed
That I dared follow my own

Dared to break this sacred trust
So strongly built between us
That you felt I needn't be told
I had been replaced for the moment

I should be banished
For uttering my pain
And for revealing it's source
As the guilt you already feel

But this guilt you won't breathe
For it's your time to be strong
To stand above me
And tell me I'm wrong

Or is it out of fear
That you cast me aside?
Contain us to a nice but definite time
Once ongoing, now over

Scared that this might be more
Than what you'd planned it to be
Afraid that your heart
Said more than you meant it to

No more will I make concessions
When you admit no fault
No more will I lower myself
When you only step higher

And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong...
Too young to hold on
Too old to just break free and run
 
Wow. I can't seem to pick out even a favorite two verses. I'm really feeling the same way as this poem right now.

Great prose.
 
Dieman -

Though I don't know the specifics behind this poem (though I can guess), I can certainly relate to it. Like you, it fits for me today just as it did this time last year. And it doesn't hurt any less. Thanks for sharing the same feelings.
