At one time
You were mine
I loved you
With an endless flow
Until my flow
My love for you
Hit a dam
Currents back lashed
Bringing our connection
To an end
To cope I moved
Out of town
Out State
So you could be
Out of sight
and Out of my Mind
Still we talked
Attempting to be Just friends
You want a new start
To move here
Find a new life
Different than before
Soon to be
no longer out of sight
Again in my mind
To prepare
My China walls must be built
Around my fragile heart
So when you are around
It doesn’t start
To once again
Break apart
beautiful piece!
keep it up!

//So when you are around
It doesn’t start
To once again
Break apart
// those such touching lines…
very beautifully expressed…
“China Walls” may they come tumbling crumbling down.
Were you listening to Joni Mitchell’s Court & Spark when you wrote this — reminds me of that feel.
Awesome!!
I actually never heard that song i will have to look it up 🙂
My China walls must be built
“Around my fragile heart
So when you are around
It doesn’t start
To once again
Break apart”
Wow. I like the word play with the word “China”–China being the Chinese wall but also as fragile as china as well. Very beautiful, that ending really powerful.

The words in the poem flow so sweetly when you say them aloud…and the impact of the arrival of an old love is clearly marked within the poem…well said.
tight poem…starting over can be so hard…almost as much as letting go…
