Seven years of love , now a broken heart

Sending My Heart to the Guillotine

I remember when we locked eyes and exchanged a smile
we spent the night talking for quite some while
Who knew that seven years would come to pass
Now two daughters 6 and 4 , oh how the years flash
Two hearts I completely adore
seven years of romance , now torn

The beautiful dreams we could have shared
did you know how much I cared 
I'm drowning in a sea of despair
i need to now come up for air

I've left years of memories suppressed in my mind
yet this broken heart will heal over time
the depth of this love I once embraced
now I can't look at love with a straight face

My life is an hourglass,  watch the sands of time slip away
as love falls through the crack, one day I'll hold your love again
but until then i'll sit and think about a heart that bleeds within

I've left my heart open for so long
now the door to my heart is shut
sitting behind it lies seven years, what went wrong
now the strings have all been cut

Oh , how the tears can grow sour
loves bitter tongue strikes vengeance
I no longer feel yuor breath upon my skin
my heart now suffocating so endlessly within

This world awaits for the sentencing of a heart
once commited to love, left digging its own grave
I bury the feelings of yesterday
my heart ready for the guillotine, take it away

goodbye love, you will be dearly missed
goodbye heart, these sad tears I can't hold
I can't let go of these 7 years I've had with you
this love I thought would never grow cold

another fabulous write. I told you heartache can produce the best poetry. Not that you should have to go through it to write well. I loved the hour glass metaphor. well done.-tonya

7 years is a long time. You always show honest emotion man. Enjoyed the read.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
