First poem on Wattpad. I almost never write in rhyme, but I do find a lot of purpose in romance poems. So often there is too much to express to put into words. And then we go... and put it into words. Slowly. Carefully. Delicately. Sometimes rough around the edges and unable to convey the grandeur and suffering that a human heart can fathom. But nonetheless, we do our best. The heart is a strange thing. I personally believe that the heart is, in fact, quite similar to a lock in purpose and intent.
Please share this poem with anyone you find fitting, be it friend or special someone or another Wattpad user, and follow me if this type of thing is up your alley.

Morose ✔️
When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react? - "The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath. Yes. This was it. I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash. I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything. We just stood there." - Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call. Her mind turned dark, her thoughts became intrusive, and she became... morose. One night everything seemed to fall apart and she found herself at the river banks when an old friend found her and refused to let her go. That night kickstarted something in her that made her want to change... for him. Helix was a misunderstood man surrounded by dark rumors. People feared him. Everyone stayed away from him.. Except Olivia. Olivia's life is in danger; can she fight her way out of the black hole before it's too late? ⚠️ Mature audiences only TW: includes adult themes such as suicide, sexuality, alcohol and other mental health-related issues - viewer discretion is advisedComplete

The leaving 11 years on on going stopped up dating for a awhile
The leaving. It was hard, tragic , painful, yet it had to be done, I needed to save my life. I didn't want to start again, this would be the story of finding myself, pulling myself back together, reuniting the happy go lucky youngster I had once been. The shock of leaving took more of a toll on me than I thought it would. I had asked two people to help me move out of the house I had shared with my partner for 8 years, we had been together 23 years in total. The move was done in total secrecy, my partner could never know in advance, it was a very scary time. I had moved various things out of the house and secured a rent on a property nearby. The house I picked was near the School the children went to, and my oldest lad was going to be near his best friend. My Mother told me of the property it was advertised on the web, we both went and had a look, even that was scary, I didn't want to be seen by anyone and became paranoid that I would be caught out. For many months I lived on a new kind of fear, the fear of someone finding out that I planned to leave my abusive partner, though of course no one knew my seemingly happy, funny, generous partner was abusive. Finding the house was one thing, getting the various companies to connect the house and exchanging the information of my current address so they could varify that I was, who I said I was almost drove me mad. The day came to leave, My Mother and a very dear Friend came round as early as possible, we packed as much as we could. This included taking the boys clothes, bedding, toys, stuff from the garden, my stuff. We had 3 cars the packing seem to take all day. By the end we had to get going to be able to unpack, leaving me time to pick up the boys from School and settle them in their new home. I couldn't do it at first,I started to cry then scream, to leave the world I had put so much of my life into, and now in a split second would be leaving was breaking my heart.Complete
