I wrote this to get some feelings out. Enjoy. It's a free verse poem about broken hearts and getting hurt and then finding something and someone who could make you smile again. I hope you guys like it. This is written based directly about the last six months of my life. I want to dedicate this to the one who broke my heart.

The Blessings of Cruel Love

For all of loves sweet joys

It only brings the most pain

For 8 months I smiled

At the sound of your voice

The laid back attitude

The way the I love you's poured from your lips

And whenever your face was in front of mine

I remember the look in your light eyes

The look of love and longing

But alas as all good things must come to an end

So did the love we shared

For someone who could be so passionate

How easily and casually you ended things

And how cruelly you did

They say the first cut is the deepest

But you left a stab wound that could never heal

Was I not deemed worthy

For you to even give closure?

To make me move on

In the cruelest of ways

And alas

3 fortnights went by

Before I'd see a smile upon my lips again

And when it did

Only the best of things happened

Your best friend, the man you trusted the most

Was the one to bring me back from my hell

And made me smile

Perhaps even more than you ever could

6 moons would pass, before I'd see him before me

And a night was shared

In the sweetest of bliss

Though I shan't ever forget you

My first love

I would like to say thank you

For unknowingly, you gave me the gift

An angel, who would be there

Whether to share a night

Or my sorrow

I will always be grateful

And I wish you

Nothing but happiness

I love you

I always have

I always will

And thank you for giving me the knowledge

That only first love can bring…

Hope you enjoyed it. It was a little difficult to write without tearing up.
