Moving On

Love is the strongest emotion by far,
With the power to heal you or leave you a scar
It is also a gateway to other emotions,
Joy, anger, pleasure, jealousy, devotion
It is not one feeling but more a combination,
At the same time a wonderful, yet terrible sensation
If I were lucky, it would fill my life with delight,
But it devoured my sun, creating a never-ending night
I gave all I could as it sucked me dry,
Until I was parched and barren with no tears left to cry
My soul yells out to you, but only in vain,
For my call goes unanswered, stabbing me with pain
Then I see you with those other girls, and it rips my world apart,
Bitter and burning, like acid in my heart
I desire more than you’re willing to give,
So I have to move on and find another way to live,
No longer can you linger always in my head,
No longer can I dream of you as I lay upon my bed
The memories won’t haunt me as look into your face,
No reminder will come of you as I travel place to place
There is nothing I can do now but pull myself away,
Gather up my courage, and slowly start to stray
I’ll try not to miss you and want you by my side,
And even if fail, at least I know I tried
