Her name flew from his mouth and dangled in the air
She lives in his heart and will always be there
Her name was inches from his lips
The same ones I just kissed
And I’d be fooling myself
If I said he wouldn’t be missed
I looked in his face
And I could see this was no cold case
‘Cause he still loved her
My emotions will have me twisted somewhere beyond belief
And have me so out of touch I’ll be hard to reach
Her name
Her name drifted past my cheek
And stood its position for weeks
And I knew she was there
And he knew I knew
I was drowning in a snap shot
And deserving of every emotion I got
Because I knew he was broken
And he knew I knew
Tonight
Head on
Crash
Drinking from a half empty glass
And all I could hear was her name
And he and I would never be the same
I try to smile
Going about my day
But my mind is miles
And miles
And miles away
Because I loved him
He called me her name and I froze
I could tell by her name she was who he chose
He is not mine
Please God free me from my insanity
‘Cause all the pieces are with her
That day is a blurr
But what I will never forget
Is that he called me her
I could not pretend
And I dare not give him a chance to do it again
See
Because
He
Is
Not
Mine
Sad but true…
LONG SIGH…
That is an unfortunate, yet common event that occurs in the best of our lives. Though, the glass should not be empty, let it be half full, for it was only a sign, that not, he wasn’t yours, rather, you were not his. Far too many times we discredit ourselves due to negative occurrences, and it is in our nature to want to do so, but the truth of the matter is, pain helps us recognize pleasure, as for only hate, can help us know love. Great poem.
I WAS NOT HIS, HEY THAT IS A CHANGE IN PROSPECTIVE. I LOVE IT!

This is a beautiful powerful poem. I am an editor on a popular large web site and I have been poet of the year a number of times at a number of places. My point in saying all of that is that I have read a lot of poems, and this is a wonderful piece.

Sad is the poetry
For sad is life to live and be
Not loved
Yet, love is engulfing me
For it’s my love for you
Filled with ecstasy
Filled with honesty
I find in-depth insanity
How can I love you fervently
When you are not with me 🙂
