When love comes, it doesn’t knock on a door
It walks right in, unexpectedly... And leaves no wonder or questions to ask anymore...
And when it decides to disappear, it leaves me broken dead, leaves my soul sore
You promised we will fly together in love, but I never left the floor
You lied; yes, I am blaming you... From now on, to your lies I am keeping a score!
Words with no actions, but verbs with echoes! Because my heart, you had, held, and tore!
“As if we were the only ones on an island”... but I stand alone as sand on a shore!
How am I supposed to forget you when you’re my inner core!!
Walking away, leaving nothing but your shadow...
You’re still a part of me... Although you left for what feels to be years ago!
I was your shining star, well now I no longer glow!
Wasn’t I your soul mate? And now I am the one you’d throw!
Our love was our own written fairy tale, except it didn’t go by the scenario
You’re alive... I am dead... You win I lose, Bravo!!

I saw the comment and I said wow this is long! but yea that happens its ok.

The usage of ".." indicates quotes said by the person this poem was written to, it's not unusual to quote phrases in a poem, it's just not common maybe.

Thank you for your comment I appricate it, and you!

i completly relate to this, very well written. i love the line "but i never left the floor" and "walking away, leaving nothing but your shadow"

i like how unique your writting is. however the one thing that seems to put me off is the use of punctuation. i think maybe different punctuation might be better in certain places. for instance your usage of "..." is a little odd to me. then again it does lend a certain feeling and off beat rythme to the words so you may have done that on purpse. im just pointing it out, as it is unusual.

however like i said, this is really well written. some amazing images etc. lovely!
