Love Left Here This Year Poem by Stacy L Denton

When we met you were my dream come true.
Everything I had wanted I thought I had in you.
Now 3 years later so much has changed in the love we once shared.
It leads me to wonder if you ever truly cared.

I have always been insecure in our relationship, for fear that I would lose you.
Even though I have done so much to push you away as I always do.
I listen, look and watch for things that are wrong.
As if trying to prove to myself I was right all along.

Until today, you could say things that would make me believe you and that It was all in my head.
But today was different, I knew something was up and just kept my mouth shut to see where it all lead.

Now I sit here more sure then I have ever been about my fears and things I’ve thought for a long time but quit talking about it with you.
It is best this way, to prevent any fights and allow you to think I am to dumb to see what you do.

My fears have now vanished and changed into reality, one that I dread waking to each day.
The reality of knowing that I’ve lost your love this year and will never gain it back so that it will stay.

If what you said before was true, that you’ve always been faithful, then that all changed today this I am sure, regardless of how much you may deny.
I saw it in your actions, excuses and the cars and events that have proved to me it was all a lie.

I will forever love you and wish I could have been enough to give you what you needed and crave instead
I’m left knowing you found it in some other woman’s bed.
