It seems I can't go a day without hurting someone, one day maybe i'll learn from my mistakes. Here's another poem:

Past the initial sting,
beyond the stage of loneliness,
I am healing,
it won't be long,
regaining my balance,
pushing away from the sorrow,
for a slight second my heart ached,
learning to be strong again,
I left you at the table,
where I let my cards fall,
slid into oblivion,
for once it felt nice,
emotion took hold,
I was lost for a moment,
I found the solace,
saved everything I am,
savoured a succulent thought,
I can ignore now,
I hope one day,
you'll dream of reaching for me,
and I won't reach back,
tell me how good it feels,
maybe then you'll understand.

This one is in the process of being finished, here's what I have so far (it kinda blows!):

Beautiful Being,
Kind Creature,
I can't shelter you forever,
I could never love you like I should,
my seas of green,
would cloud with black,
if your vital presence were ever to fade,
can you linger without my deepest affection,
the agony in your eyes,
is the destruction I feel inside,
what words can I say,
when all the right ones swam away.

Here's a couple i'm in the process of working on, kuz they aren't that good yet! :

All the excellence had to end,
I never imagined i'd lose you,
not this way,
I awake again,
to another quiet passage,
I attempt a shot at a new day,
nothing's felt quite right,
not since your departure,
I can't fit right inside my own skin,
you had no idea,
what mess you left a wreck,
i'm struggling to keep still,
ignore the thoughts that try to overtake my mind,
the mistakes you made,
with an intoxicated conscience,
it doesn't make any sense at all,
maybe you tried to fill a void,
one that's not so clear.

and the next one:

there's never been anyone better,
you've entangled yourself in me,
the ease I feel tonight,
a wide grin formed after contentment burst within,
it's spreading rapidly like a lovely disease,
everything glows and blooms at my feet,
I only know you feel it too,
afraid this scandalous love will quickly fade,
I was left dizzied,
my longing lips awaiting another kiss.

Here's one I wrote today:
Where did we begin,
one night drew to a beautiful close,
the way you held me in your arms,
the sweet way you slept,
and the sun rose,
your actions seemed so misdirected,
you ran away,
I was shrouded in lost thoughts,
where does that leave me now,
with no kiss goodbye or a clue,
to how your feelings changed overnight,
I became a navy pool,
every hope inside me failed,
you knew how to draw me in,
I was released without my consent,
left with the teasing remininsces,
and the bitter cool ache you left behind,
knowing the words I longed to hear,
never meant anything,
after my heartfelt confession you said "I feel the same",
and grabbed my hands and pulled me to you,
your touch sent ripples of ice down my spine,
and I was yours,
then the moment breaks,
the delight is shattered and i'm alone once again.
- The things I come up with can be so damn depressing!
Let's see how well this works out. I'll try and post poetry that i'm working on here or recently finished poetry kuz I want the whole world to recognize, that's right.
