Free My Heart Poem by Carlene Maddux

As time passes, feelings change.
Like the seasons each year.
First a strong love, then a stranger!
Is it that your feelings become clear?
Ounce I felt like I could be swept away.
Feeling love so strong and true!
I faced the truth, one cold day.
Endless tears I cried for you.
Lessons learned while growing up.
Was forgotten, for a magic moment.
Not knowing that sorrow fills my cup.
And love turns into torment.
First you captivated my interest.
You tickled my heart every time.
So I pulled out my own little test.
And I saw that you were never mine.
Having someone to hold is the best thing in life.
Care and trust is a bond shared by two.
I now know I'll never be some ones wife
But I deserve more than I'm getting from you!
