I broke a heart

She gave me all Made me stood tall Like an iroko tree She stood by me I could remember her smiles As we walk under the gentle moon for miles She dried my tears And helped me fought my rugged fears I was all she had A young naive and an unsure lad She helped me built my path And gave my sorrow soul faith Days went by...... As words were not send to say "Hi" She was in dire need for my presence But all I could send her was my sickly silence I left her high and dry She send words, oh so many a try I became her sickness Even when her silence was never her weakness How would I tell her? That my courage failed me And if I should see her Would she accept my plea? For months we haven't spoken Maybe the bond was meant to be broken Maybe I should just turn a new leaf and forget the past But wouldn't I be breaking a heart? Would i say its love fault or the in-balance of life?

This is sweetly sad, the silence not of rejection but shyness, and the pain it causes. I like your 4 line stanzas with spaces to feel in. Just looked up a picture of the iroko tree - wow - 500 years, tall and strong, and a beautiful sounding word. J :)
