Been asked to write a blog or a story on what have I learned from
failed relationships? On Love Lost or
Broken Heart Boulevard
Funny that topic should creep into the peripheral these days for
it is the Boulevard I walk; it is the hearts of others I break.
Love lost?
What love have I lost?
Have I lost or left behind?
I suppose I could blame others;
Make myself to be more innocent than I am.
But that is not the truth;
Not how I remember it anyway.
Trampled hearts I have left behind;
A large swath from the landscape burned and churned behind me.
This trial I blaze is alight with the fire;
And those closest to me are consumed. Always
I have known great love;
The feeling of a constant song from within.
But I know not how to dance;
And I only plot my demise as the music plays.
Love lost is perhaps an art;
And I, the master of the black canvass.
My strokes are fast and deep;
Cutting through the love with like a sharpened blade.
.
No, I don’t know love lost;
Just love tossed aside in my own failed reasoning.
Large steps away from that which calms;
No need for a quiet place.
What have I learned from failed relationships? I've learned that I am the one to blame on
most parts. I had the power to stop the
relationships from failing and chose to ignore that power. But alas, where one relationship fails to
withstand the pressure I create beneath it, others will rise to the challenge. There is always a new song, a smile on the
other side of heartache….if only for a little while. If only for a little while……
