Her

She came into my life
From somewhere in my past
I guess I always knew
In my heart it wouldn’t last

 There are those who want
To keep her away from me
I guess god’s the only one
That really knew my need

 Before she showed up
For me there was no peace
When she showed up my life
Got what it needed a new lease

 Now I feel in my heart
She’s on her way out
Wish I understood
What that is all about

 She is being pushed from
Directions that are not clear
But why does it have to be
Someone I hold so dear

 So I move forward
To harden my heart
Should have guessed
This would happen from the start

 I’ve made more progress
Than I thought I would in my life
Now that she’s going
I feel like I died

 My heart is more troubled
Than ever it was before
The pain in the heart
Just can’t be ignored

 I guess God has a
Better plan for her
If she stays with me
Will only make her hurt

 I choose not to stand
Ever in Gods way
But in this situation
I wish I had more to say

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
