You were once my greatest strength,
you are now my greatest weakness
You were once my greatest source of love
and yet now, you appear so loveless
You seldom call, when you do I melt
Remembering all of those things that I felt
Come any word delivered my way off your lips

You once were my only source of pride
The one in whom I could always confide
The one who listened to every word
and never forget a thing you had heard
Now I sit here and write, so distraught,
Remembering the things that you must have forgot
Forgotten is me, whom you used to treasure,
It impossible to measure, the weight of my heart in my stomach.

And just as I placed you in the back of my mind,
wrote you off, rapidly hope lost,
you dialed me up, a number i'm surprised you could find
and again i was filled with the sound of your voice
But you quickly announce that your lover's in town,
and suddenly you wonder if I am around,
Yet until he showed up, you wouldn't be found in my sight.

I wonder, has he asked you to take off my ring?
That silly momento that can't mean a thing,
Oh, and, yeah, you'll never guess what I found lying around
A brick that I picked up in some little town
It made me smile, until it reminded me of
The weight of my heart in my stomach.

The pain is so real in this poem. I like how you gave the metaphor of the brick.

wow I can definately relate to this one. Like I said before you are incredibly talented.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
